I love my new rug. The second day I had it, my dog ran across it with muddy paws. I was able to vacuum the rug and pull up most of the mud stains. It looks basically as good as new. The only thing I don't like about it is the fringe. It gets stuck under the rug making it bumpy and not lay flat. Other than that, the rug is beautiful and goes great with my Beach themed living room.
