I'm not excited about this rug. It probably isn't better than the other one I had. We have just installed solid wood floors and I really wanted something to protect them from dogs coming in and out.

I'm editing this because I have now had this rug during our very, very wet Northern California spring this year. It held up well and saved my new flooring from tons of water. I am Surprised and I changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars. Looks can fool you.
