I bought this rug about 7-8 months ago and it has already faded considerably as you can tell in the picture. The area in the center is what it originally looked like as it is covered by our coffee table. I would have expected this to last at least a full year or two so I’m disappointed that I’m already having to look at a new rug. Also this rug is printed so that may be why it faded so quickly, I had never had a printed rug before.
