Have had for almost 2 years in the spot in our house that is most high traffic (granted we're a childless petless couple). Shows lint and fuzzies pretty easily, but with 1 vacuum it looks brand new again! Soft not scratchy, definitely surprised we only paid ~$170 for an 8x10 rug. We also purchased the Rug Pad Central, RPC38F-810, Premium 3/8" Felt Rug Pad for Hardwood Floors, 8'x10' to go underneath it and it makes it feel nice and padded.One note - given how great a value this rug is, you may see it in other homes. I've seen "my" rug in both my best friend's and my cousin's home (probably doesn't help that the same rug is also available on retailers like Wayfair). If you prefer to have very unique decor you may want to take that into consideration.
