I finally got rid of the two cotton rugs in my kitchen and replaced them with this perfect indoor/outdoor rug. It vacuums really well, and is very easy to spot clean with a little soapy water and a brush. It makes my kitchen look bigger (I was surprised by that!) and goes perfectly in my black, white and gray kitchen. Even though it arrived rolled up, the corners sat totally flat after two hours with some books on them.  Can't beat the delivery either--it arrived a day early!  Love everything about it!
