I bought 3 of these rugs in different shapes and sizes. One is under my dining room table and the other two are in the kitchen. The one under my DR table is still in great shape. The other two are in a higher traffic area in my kitchen. Some of the braiding is coming undone on the kitchen ones. I would recommend if you can don't use the beater bar on your vacuum cleaner. They are super fun and funky. I get lots of compliments on them.
