First, the rug is beautiful, and navy not black, which is exactly what I had in mind for a hallways runner. The reason for the three stars is that as soon as I put the rug out, my cats nail caught on the rug and pulled out an entire navy thread, which is very obvious. I get it, cats and rugs are an issue, but this should not have happened so easily, and wouldn’t have done with a higher quality weave. Disappointed because I waited months for this to get back in stock. Consider a different rug if you have pets.
