We absolutely love this rug. We have it in our living room and with a toddler and a beagle shedding pup this is so durable and thick and easy to clean! The Roomba also goes up onto it which I was doubtful of before we got it because I knew it was thick but it has no problem. Other reviewers have mentioned that it smelled badly when they purchased it. We didn't have that issue but we did unpack it and leave it on our screened porch for a day before we brought it into the house to 'air it out' but I don't think that was needed. Really great purchase.
