I have been so happy with this rug that I purchased a second. The first one has survived 3-1/2 years of heavy foot traffic and multiple dogs without fading or any noticeable signs of wear and tear. It's easy to clean and the pet fur comes up quickly with a vacuum. I would recommend an underlayment with padding if it will receive moderate/heavy traffic as it is thin. The only downside is it takes a little longer than most rugs to get it to lay flat, but I can be patient at this price.
