I purchased this to place in my foyer. Even though it is an indoor/outdoor rug, it looks very elegant. It is a low pile and my front door easily clears it. The colors and pattern are perfect for my entry. And, since it is near my entrance, I love the fact that it can be hosed off and dried outside in the sun. That said, it does not show dirt, and a small vacuum easily handles any dust or particles. Love this rug!
