This rug is beautiful!! We have numerous rugs in our house, ranging from high end brands, down to the machine washable rugs from our local Walmarttarget. This is a great bang for your buck! The backing is super sturdy and the fringe is double stitched for extra durability. My only *minor* complaint is that there isn’t much cushioning, so over the hardwood floors, it’s still pretty hard when you sit down. But I still give this a 5-star review because it’s exactly as expected from the pictures and description.
