I had searched for a good while for a tan/grey natural rug and found this one.  I have had the rug for approximately a year.  The colors worked perfectly for our study.  The rug is a lot bulkier and thicker than I expected, and some of the loops have opened up with the passing of time, however, I was able to push the ends back down into the rug.  As with most natural rugs, dust from the natural fibers settles down through the rug onto your floor, so there is a bit of upkeep with the rug.  However, it's nothing you can't remedy by turning the rug back and vacuuming.  Overall, I am pleased with the rug and the look it gives to my room.
