I waited a while to post a review of this rug so I could attest to it's durability.  While I love the look of it, I would not recommend it unless you don't plan on walking on it or if you stick it in a low traffic area.  We have older kids and dogs an it has not been a good combo.  The rag bits come off or stick up, the rug is very flimsy so it is hard to vacuum, and it shows wear fairly easily.  Very disappointed.
