This length of rug is not easy to find, so I was very happy to find a decent selection on Great Offer Stock. I had a wool, very heavy duty rug for the last year and it shed so badly and was terribly hard to clean, so the fact this one doesn't shed is a huge benefit. I have pets, so I vacuum often and the wool one was so hard to vacuum and this one is a breeze. I was used to a thicker, heavier rug, so initially this one felt a little underwhelming, but it actually works very well. The colors are nice and dark enough that every tiny spec doesn't show up. The rug came with 4 pretty noticeable kinks in it and I did have to use a handheld steamer and heavy books placed on top to get rid of them. It took 2 weeks and some effort, but they are gone now. I was worried at the fact that it's called an indoor/outdoor rug because I figured it would be a little crunchy under my feet to hold up outside, but it feels like every other soft indoor area rug I have. Our house doesn't have any indoor carpet, so this sits on a hardwood floor. I definitely recommend a non-slip pad under it if it will be on tile or wood. Overall, this is a great rug for the price and I'd highly recommend if you have pets, kids or like to change things up regularly.
