Bought this to go under a wooden bed frame to protect a wood floor. Expected a rug made of soft, fluffy fibre, but was surprised to discover that this is made of thick woven plasticky material. Didn't know that's what woven meant in this context! Should have scrutinised the close ups! As it happened, my mistake was very fortunate as it's likely to be more hard wearing and can be swept clean. Saves me buying a hoover! Was really happy with this product and my mistake. Lovely muted colours fit the busiest or most subdued of rooms!
