I love how this rug looks but I do not like the very thin style of it. They say it is washable, as in you can throw it in a washing machine, but with the 7.5 x10 ft size you would likely need a commercial sized washing machine, and really that is not a feature that is important to me. Because it is so thin, it offers no cushion, and even with a padded rug pad under it (which is necessary to keep it from slipping and to provide some padding) you still feel the hardness of the ground a lot more than with a more standard rug. Also being so thin the edges curl up on the sides and it is a little harder to vacuum it, it has the tendency to pull up so you have to make sure your vacuum doesn't use a beater bar and not have the suction on too strong. The texture is silky smooth, there is no pile, at all. The color and pattern are really good at hiding crumbs, stains, marks, etc. The only thing I don't like about it is the thinness, otherwise I recommend it for all other characteristics
