Pretty, but impossible to clean. Every single bit of dirt is visible, and with dogs it is a nightmare. And my dog is not big or dirty by any means. We had to get the replacement through the rug insurance pretty quickly because we could not clean it at all. To experiment on the old one (trying to find a good cleaning method), we tried 4 different stain removers, baking soda, vinegar, you name it. Every single thing leaves a pink-ish stain on the carpet. Don't buy unless it's in a low traffic area where nothing can get on it.
