This rug has help up beautifully over the past six months.  I wanted to get a rug that wasn't too expensive as I have a dog and cat that have a tendency to run towards the nearest rug every time they're going to be sick so I couldn't justify spending too much for a rug.  Probably TMI, but I figured it would be helpful for fellow pet owners.  We've had multiple accidents and spills (I have it under my dining table) and it still looks as good as the day I bought it, so I'm pretty pleased with this purchase!
