Its a sturdy rug. I got this for under the dining table with multiple kids. It has so many colors with the grey background that spills will not be noticeable. It also ties in with other spaces because of the multiple colors in the rug. However, I ordered a huge rug and they folded it to ship. This has been a pain trying to get the rug to lay flat. So, watch out for that. Otherwise, we love the rug for this space!
