This is the new focal point of our living room and we couldn't be more pleased. I would be happier if our male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel hadn't eaten a few fibers out of it but since the "bare" spot isn't visible (even though it's in the middle of the rug), it's not too much of a crisis.
For the money, this is an excellent value. Takes a while for the rug to completely lie flat, but it's worth the wait.
