I purchased this rug for my Music room in 2018. It does a good job putting up with dirt and does not stain easily. The fire inspector came in and gave his approval recently of the fibers used and the way the back is structured. It does not hold odors, and it sits on wood laminate flooring right in front of the Smartboard. Each square is 2' x 2' so the students have enough room. My favorite part is that I design my chair seating into teams based off of this red-yellow-green-blue pattern, which helps with classroom management.This carpet is nicely made, but it should be for the increase in price compared to other carpets I've seen. The only issue I've had with the carpet is how quickly the carpet soils, especially the yellow rectangles. I even applied ScotchGuard, but it didn't seem to help much. On a positive note, the carpet really helps reduce behavior issues as I've assigned each student a certain rectangle to sit in when we come together on the floor.I bought this at a reduced price for my Kindergarten classroom hoping it wasn’t too damaged as it was advertised as having significant defects. I am thrilled because it is absolutely perfect! Amazingly bright and durable! Resists stains! Huge and comfortable! Best purchase ever made!!!I bought this for my 2nd grade classroom and we all love it! Very bright and good quality. Squares are a good size - not too small for 7-8 year olds.The colours are brighter than the picture and each sqaure is a good size for an K-2 elementary student. This is the best priced carpet for the size and quality.I love that it has color rows. I call them to line up or go to their seats by color. The spots are big. Plenty enough for everyone to have their own space !Goes perfect with my classroom decor! Lightweight tooLove the vibrant colors and quality.
