I was nervous on this rug as I had never purchased an indoor/outdoor rug. My motivation to purchase was that we adopted 2 young pit bulls and had suffered a few accidents on my beautiful wool rug and newly refinished hardwoods in our living/family room. What a great buy!!! This totally fits the "Mad Men" vibe of our 1960's ranch and the colors are spot on! We have received many compliments from visitors. We made sure to buy a nice thick felt pad to give it cushioning as the rug itself is a thin, tight, berber-type weave. The dogs play pretty rough, with their nails dragging through it, and not one fiber/yarn pull (and no accidents since I bought a new rug--figures!). The only negative is that the manufacturer rolls it with the good-side in. I had to get book stacks and boxes to lay on the curl end of the rug to get it lay flat for about 5 days, but it is flat after that. I purchased another Waverly indoor/outdoor rug for my guest room due to this great experience and "Cool" factor of the designed print.
