I love this rug and have been wanting one for ages! It took it a day or two to completely flatten out, but it’s beautiful once it does. However, there are a few issues with it. It slides around quite a bit, but you can’t really put a pad underneath it because it has an open weave in so many spots. Second, we have dark wood floors. This thing is constantly shedding little grass fibers and dust onto the floor, so the floor always looks dirty despite daily cleaning. The last thing is really more of a personal problem—my cat thinks it’s his own personal scratch pad. He’s always done great not scratching furniture and carpet, but I cannot keep him off of this rug for the life of me. In just a couple of months, it doesn’t look as great as it did, but I suppose I can flip it over if we ever plan on having company. Still, it’s not exactly practical because it slides around everywhere and it’s impossible to keep the area around it clean.
