I've always wanted a rug that I could throw in the washer as I have four children, a cat, and a dog. Accidents happen frequently in my home and I have been through countless area rugs that either can't be cleaned or it have to drag out my carpet cleaner to clean up messes. This rug has saved me so much time and has made life easier! I absolutely love the pattern and the colors are gorgeous. I love the weathered look as it reminds me of either Bohemian decor or Farmhouse decor. The best part is that I can throw it in my washer to clean it! I've washed it twice already, per instructions and I haven't had any issues with it falling apart, the backing coming off or threads pulling! I will definitely be buying a bigger one for my livingroom upstairs!
