This is a rag rug that has pieces of material looped into it. The pieces of material are not secured, so I have pieces of material that fall out of it all the time.  When you walk over it, you bring pieces of it with you, so I always have pieces of material in my entry way.  It is a fun rug which brings color and character that I was looking for, but I am very disappointed with the quality of it.  I don't know if this is could ever be washed for fear nothing would be left of it when done.  It will stay in my entry way for now.  It will continue to be a work in process to keep it together and looking good.  I would not buy again.   

Pros: Fun rug.  
Cons: The pieces of material are not secured in and always falling out.  It's a mess.
