Although some reviews complain that the design on the rug is printed, I don't mind at all. For this great price point it is a concession I am willing to make. Moreover, the colors are very pretty and the rug is indeed more of an 8 X 10 area mat. It vacuums well and when I get tired of it I can switch it out (again, because of inexpensive price point. And, it would be just as much to have professionally cleaned every year so why not?
