I loved this rug initially, it was so soft and comfortable and perfect for our family room.  However 2 years later it is completely matted and flat.  It also holds dirt and is more difficult to vacuum it out now.  I definitely would have expected it to last longer than this.  Now we have to spend another $300 to replace it.  My recommendation is to stick with lower pile and more dense rugs than this. It won’t stand up to traffic at all.
