We purchased this rug as a runner for our front hallway. The quality is amazing for the price paid. It's a beautiful rug and appears to be an -type rug worth thousands more than we paid. We wanted a rug that looked nice, but was not a high-end rug simply because we have 3 kids and 2 dogs constantly running through the house and we hated to potentially ruin a "nice" rug. However, we now feel the same about this one! It's gorgeous.
