Great quality rug and really loved the look of it. However, it was in a high traffic area and it started to come undone about 2-3 inches from the tassels. We had it for about a year and just threw it out. There was no repairing it and the damage could be seen from both sides. I would say if it wasn't in a high traffic area that it would be a great rug. I would certainly recommend a rug pad. I hate that it came apart as it looked really good in my dining room.
