Great area rug
This bamboo mat is a great area rug for my carpeted apartment. I needed an attractive and functional way to transform the carpeted floor around my sofa because of how often my kids eat at the sofa. The bamboo is woven tightly enough to catch crumbs, has stood up to sweeping, light mopping, and vacuuming, and is flexible enough to stand up to the pressure from the coffee table legs and sofa legs. We do hear occasional cracking sounds from point pressure, but nothing appears broken on the mat. The surface is smooth and comfortable to walk on barefoot. Just watch the stitching at the borders. The bamboo pulls the room together and creates a defined space for my kids where food and drink are ok in the (I cannot stress this enough) fully carpeted apartment.
