We loved this rug (we actually have two in our apartment) until we got some water on it. We tried to blot the water up with a clean paper towel and the blue dye bled and we now have a big pink spot on our rug. Very disappointed. The rug seems to be high quality, but I think the dye used is very cheap. DO NOT get any kind of liquid on the rug--even water--it will definitely stain.
