I loved the look of this rug and the promise of a natural fiber that wasn't rough on bare feet and in that respect this rug delivers.  I was hoping it would withstand the everyday stains of a dog whose paws are not cleaned before coming in unless it's raining, snowing, or she just clearly went to town in some dirt, but this thing is already covered in stains that are not easily cleaned.  The ripples are also still fairly noticeable even after weeks of use.  I don't necessarily regret the purchase because the price was so reasonable, but I wouldn't buy again.
