Our animal hides are durable and can be used as rugs or décor pieces. Many people place them on the floor, and they can handle moderate foot traffic when properly cared for. However, like any natural material, extremely heavy traffic or constant friction in the same spot can cause gradual wear over time. For the best longevity, we recommend using hides under tables, in offices, or moderate-traffic spaces, or displaying them as wall pieces or throws if you want to preserve them in pristine condition.
