I bought this rug to replace one in my living that was a dog hair magnet. The other one I had was awful- a vacuum would not pull up hairs and I had to use a special broom to get the hairs out and was a lot of work. So far this rug has been wonderful- hairs vacuum right up! The colors are beautiful and the rug is surprisingly soft for an outdoor rug. Seems to be holding up well with grankids and big dogs. Think I might order a larger one for under my dining room table
