We have the round cut of this rug. It is a stunning pattern and is beautiful. But we have it in our living room - very high traffic - and therefore it is SO difficult to vacuum, which I have to do at least once a week (dog and toddler probs). I literally have to put my whole body weight into pushing the vacuum, to the point where every time it feels like I'm getting a hernia in my belly button. For low traffic areas, it would be great.
