I have to say, for the price I paid I am extremely happy with the quality and the soft feel of both of the rugs I bought. 
  I wasn't looking for anything TOO nice as I just bought a puppy.  With the chewing and the house breaking, I REALLY wasn't expecting the rugs to be around for very long at all. 
 But now that I've had a chance to give them the twice over, they are so well made I think they will be able to stand the test of time.  (With a few cleanings!)
