I wasn't expecting much from this rug since it was so inexpensive, but was pleasantly surprised when I received it. It really warmed the room up and has been great. I've had the rug for 2 years now (writing this review late). I have a son that plays sports and 2 dogs, so this rug has definately had a hard life in my house, but for the cost I find it really easy to replace it every couple years, which is what I'm about to do now. It held up really well for the last couple years, and I could certainly get more use out of it, but the light colored areas now have stains. Time for a new one.
