I love this rug. It is perfect for a high traffic area and feels so good on your feet. I have a new baby so I spent a lot of time playing on the floor with her and this rug is perfect because it is soft and cushy. She loves running her hands across it and I don't mind her doing that because it can handle daily use/hands all over it. It hides dirt - but doesn't hide it *too* well so I am always confident that things are clean for her to explore. PLUS - this rug was about half the price of the rug I previously had in my family room that couldn't hold up under daily use. I would get three of this rug if I had the space.
