I absolutely adore this rug! I now have several Andover Mills polypropylene rugs and they are the best for high traffic rooms and pets. This pattern is my favorite! These rugs clean up like new no matter what happens and hold up to serious wear and tear. I do recommend a nice rug pad to add cushioning as the rug is thin, but the thinness is what makes them so easy to clean. Once you get a nice pad underneath, it looks and feels like a very expensive rug. I will never buy anything else!
