But, I am a neat freak, and while I love the look, I'm not sure I'd like the maintenance no matter the material!

It wore well and they had 4 children! They had the chocolate brown color, which showed dirt, etc. (again, 4 kids) but otherwise looked very nice. They really like it. I think it would look very cool in white! I recently saw the rubber flooring (like straw,sticks&bricks link) in a home….looked great. It wore well and they had 4 children!
