"I purchased this rug in the hopes that it would stand the test of time in my baby's nursery. This rug is soft and sturdy - if that is possible for a rug?! :) I love the way it feels underfoot and it stays very clean! No piling up, no clinging dirt, nothing. I just vacuum it when I vacuum the carpet and it stays perfect. I love the color too! It was a perfect pairing with the rest of my baby's furniture and bedding. Highly recommend."
