This area rug is durable and beautiful. This is the 2nd one I've ordered because the 1st one turned out to stay clean looking in our highest traffic area in our home.( the foyer) After one year and counting. The second one is for our back door entry way.Looks great and durable like no other rug I've tried. Would absolutely recommend this rug!!!!! A bonus is you don't need a carpet pad. This rug has a rubber little rubber dots that help keep it in place nicely. Also low profile enough  for door ways .
