I was a bit skeptical about this rug because it was quite inexpensive and Kelly Clarkson is a singer not a rug maker or designer.   However we’ve lived with this rug for a year now with our 100 lb lab, 2 black cats, 3 kids and constant traffic and it still looks and feels new.   It’s actually gorgeous.  Looks very plush and expensive.   Love it enough to buy the runner and another for a different room.
