We had this rug for about a year and it was nice and fluffy and soft, but not very easy to clean. I had to use the hand tool on my vacuum cleaner since it’s such a high pile shag, and with 3 little kids that was just too much work! Would be great in a less trafficked area, as opposed to the main living room. After a year it was way more matted down and dingy. Giving 3 stars for the maintenance it requires, but if you’re not opposed to that I would totally suggest it!
