This rug is softer on the feet than I expected. I purchased for my kitchen and it's a great size and the color is the same as it appeared online. I have two dogs and surprisingly you can't see the fur very much on this rug despite knowing it is there. I've been able to easily take it outside and any dust/hair off of it easily. The only trouble I have with it is that you definitely need a rug mat and with the type of tile my kitchen has its tough to find a rug mat that will work. If you're planning to use this outdoors or on carpet I think it would work well.
