It's possible that I'm the only one who missed this, but this rug is best designed for outdoor or very high traffic (think entryway) use.  It does not have any pile, and after receiving it I noticed for the first time that in the care instructions it states you can use a garden hose to clean it.  Other reviewers mentioned using it in their dining room, which is where I intended to use it as well.  I was looking for an indoor rug with more pile/softer to the touch, so unfortunately I had to return this item.  If you're looking for an outdoor or high traffic rug, it is nice quality and the design is as-pictured.  

3 stars because it's nice quality and if you read between the lines, it matches the product description.  However, only 3 stars because you have to read between the lines to fully understand the nature of the product.
