This rug was a great addition to our large family room.  It gave the room a softer vibe by covering some of the dark hardwoods without the need of it being plush.  The abstract design allowed me to go in whatever decorating direction I wanted.  The only downside is that it is in a high traffic area, and cleaning it isn't always the easiest.  I can use a vacuum as long as it's not in "carpet" mode.
