I’ve  had this rug for two years now and it is in a summer cabin. My grandchildren come and go with dirty feet, dropping wet bathing suits as they go and a dog or two has even found it a comfy spot on which to nap. The fibres are soft, it doesn’t smell as many jute rugs do and the grey colour is lovely. Doubt I will ever need to replace this rug as it looks just as good now as the day I put it down.
