Even after reading the reviews of others, somehow I still didn't understand the length and construction of the fringe.  It doesn't work for my home.  It will constantly look untidy, the pets think it's a new toy, the ends are a slip hazard (non-slip pad needs to be cut smaller than rug area), and the final deal breaker: Roomba can't vaccuum it!  Otherwise, it is beautiful and soft, and the price was great.
