This rug is beautifully crafted & I'm so obsessed. The quality is beyond what I expected. The design and colors are exactly as pictured. The unique design add the right amount of style to make my livingroom pop. I get so many compliments about this carpet from friends and family. The material is soft not scratchy and its the perfect length. Thus carpet does not shed or no loose strings. I vacuum right over it & it stays the same. Such a lovely piece to look at, it's functional, & I'm so glad I owe it.
