This was my first Wayfair purchase. Have had the rug down in the den for about a month and it's beautiful, thick pile, vacuums easily, doesn't show dirt (so far). We don't have pets or small children so can't speak to how it would hold up under that. The first couple of days we had to put heavy books on the corners from curling up but flattened out quickly It is still in the 'shedding' phase but that seems to be about over. The pattern is not as small as what appears online so if you are looking for a finely detailed pattern you might be disappointed.
