The rug is fantastic! I was looking for a new rug for our breakfast room -- where the dogs come in and out of the dog door and people come in from the patio. I had watched this rug for a while and was waiting for it to be in stock in the size I needed. We put it down and everyone who has seen it says the same thing: wow! It is water/stain/fade resistant, very attractive and just perfect. I cannot say enough good about it. PLUS -- it arrived quickly, was well packaged, and easy to roll out. 5 stars for every aspect of this purchase!!
