I was delighted to see that this rug was even prettier in person than it was online. You will need a rug gripper if you put it on a wood or tile floor, but that is easy enough, and this rug is so pretty it is worth that little bit of extra effort. The rug is very well made and appears to be quite durable. I've placed it in our laundry/mud room which is also the primary entrance we use to the house. It's winter time in Ohio and we have already had a plethora of wet and dripping boots and shoes all over it. I would highly recommend this rug!!. Michelle. Concord Township, OH. Mon Jan 12 2015
