I can't say enough how beautiful this rug is! It brightens up any room and makes you feel happy. I have 2 in my back room and actually am considering getting 2 more for my dining room and front room. If you have a pet that likes to claw, or a dog that scratches, it will show eventually. So after 7 years I purchased another and the quality is not quite the same, just a little thinner, but I still highly recommend this rug!
