The edges of the rug quickly became unwoven. It was obvious that the border and rest of the rug were connected separately. When it started to happen to one side, we rotated it to hide it and hoped the other side was put together better. No luck. It all came quickly unraveled on both sides and left loose rope to get caught in. Maybe ours missed quality control, but it was a terrible product and waste of money. I would have returned it, but we had stored it while a new puppy was trained so even though it didn't take long for the rug to unravel, the return period had passed.
