This polyester rug (and price) is amazing! We put it in our kitchen and over the two years it has lived there, we have spilled every type of thing on the rug (included a quart of latex paint) and it is still in perfect condition. Through wear, the yarn wrapped edges have started to fray a bit but it's not noticeable unless you are up close. I recommend investing and getting a thicker rug pad to go underneath to protect your floors and lengthen the life of this rug.
