I've had this rug for a week or two now so I can't speak to it's durability.  That said, it appears to be very well made.  I didn't notice any pieces hanging out, any frays, etc.  It adds a really nice textural element to my living room.  I wanted something neutral and this fit the bill.  As others said it stretches a little bit but not to the extent that it is misshapen.  Overall I'm quite happy with it.
