These rugs are soft and very nice to look at (we bought the 2x10 runner and the 4x6) but there was so much dirt in the fibers of the rugs when we received them that after 3 separate attempts to shake, beat, and vacuum them and put them back in place, we had to give up.  The dirt (not fibers but actual dirt) just kept coming out beneath them onto our floors.  Cannot recommend these rugs.
