It looks hard-wearing and yet is elegant. Will not show dirt easily.
We have a long open passageway from the front door entry to 3 stairs down into the sunken living room.It's a heavily used area ,and the rug looks as though it can deal with a Canadian winter ! 
Gave it 4 ( wanted 4 1/2)instead of 5 because the colours could have been a little brighter for me.
Very pleased.
