We have had this rug for almost a year now in our living room/dining room and two  hallways near those rooms. I love the color and how much it pulls the rooms together. We spend so much more time in those rooms because of the carpet. I have to say there are some areas of wear. The areas are of course where we walk mostly. Once vacuumed they perk back up.  I would definitely get the product for under the carpet and make sure you measure if there were any doors that need to go over the carpet we have one door that just makes it if the carpet were any higher or the door any lower it would not make it. The carpet is advertised and many reviews say how soft it is, it is soft and it is definitely not as soft as I thought it was going to be. I really do love the carpet!
