You'll be hard pressed to find a better rug at this price point. The initial look and feel of this rug is so nice. I have it in my hallway and it's holding up to the high traffic area. The only negative is how quickly the rug texture changed after the 3rd or 4th vacuum. The high traffic had no effect, but the vacuuming caused a slight matted appearance. This hasn't happened to any of my other rugs before (I have all hardwood floors so I have a lot of rugs throughout my home). By the way this is the second time purchasing the same exact rug. I had to replace the first one after using my bissell multi-surface vacuum with the carpet wash option. The texture stayed really dark and heavily matted. So I was more careful with the rug this time around, and even used my other regular vacuum, however, it didn't take long before I noticed there was slight matting as I was vacuuming. Since then I only sweep the rug but the texture has been permanently changed. I've had this second rug about two weeks, so the texture shouldn't change this quickly. But regardless, I still really like the rug. If you can prevent vacuuming and maintain the initial texture, this rug is perfect!!
