I was looking for an inexpensive rug for our foyer that was durable enough to handle foot traffic without easily staining or showing wear.  The first night I put the rug down there was a storm and some folks tracked in mud. I spot cleaned the rug the next morning with Resolve and it looked like new.  

I wouldn't recommend this rug for a living room unless you are looking for a thin rug.

Pros: Great value, easily cleaned, attractive
Cons: Better grip backing.
