I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I needed a rug that didn’t show hair 5 minutes after I vacuumed. I like the material. It’s very soft and so far, my cats are not interested in sharpening their nails on it. I love the colors it brightens up our apartment! I bought this on Thanksgiving or black Friday on sale and it’s the perfect size for our space. Shipping speed was expected for the time of year. Overall very pleased
