I have hard wood and tile all throughout my home, so rugs are necessary. It's difficult to find a really good one, at a reasonable price. I'm pleased to say that this one fits in that category. At just about $50, you get a 5X7 area rug that is made very well, looks beautiful, and you can actually toss it into your washing machine at home. I would recommend this rug to any household, in particular, those with kids and/or pets. The dark color and ability to easily wash it make it a game changer for those families. I don't have small children, but I have teens that are in and out, and I have dogs. So, having a light colored rug is not really ideal. Being able to wash this myself also makes my life a little bit easier.
