Such a beautiful rug and especially for the price!!! Very soft under foot and laid flat immediately.  The taupe and ivory colors are  so pretty.  I don’t know how it will withstand 4 kids and 2 dogs but the pattern makes me believe it will hide stains somewhat over time.  Since it was so inexpensive for the size I will probably buy another one if needed in a few years....as long as it’s around that is!
