We bought this rug to replace a light gray rug in our great room. This area gets a lot of traffic from both people and our 3 dogs, the latter of which often have muddy paws. This is a very soft, cushiony rug. It's low pile, which makes it easy to clean. The colors are true to the pictures online. We've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's holding up very well to our muddy dogs! I'd definitely recommend this rug!
