So far we like this rug a lot.  We've only had it for two weeks so cannot comment on the durability or how easy it is to clean, but the color palette is even nicer than we had hoped and the rug seems well made.

The one very disappointing (and worrying) thing is that since we took it out of the box there has been a terrible toxic-like smell coming from the rug.  Even two weeks after we received the rug our living room still smells like chemicals.  Given that it is a "hand-made" wool rug, I am confused what would cause this smell -- is is the plastic is was wrapped it, the dyes, the yarn itself?  It was almost so bad that we returned it; but we'd been looking for a rug for the better part of a year, and this one fit the room so well that we're putting up with the smell under the expectation that it will eventually dissipate.
