This rug is absolutly awesome, We had an ugly blue one before this and it was too small for under our table, this one fits the whole room and is soft and feels great on our feet. When we first got it we had to let it sit out for a day or so because there was a crease in it and it would not just pull out. As far as cleaning goes our Shark Robot Vac transitions from the hardwood to the rug with no issues at all, we also have a Kerby vac and it works just fine on the rug also and does not lift it up. Me and my wife both just love this rug.
