I did alot of research on rugs before I purchased this one. AND I ready all of the reviews.  Based on this, I purchased this rug and was happy that I made this choice.  Some of the comments on reviews I read mentioned the debris from the rug.  I have only had it in place for less than a week, but I know that some debris from this type of rug is expected. Especially since it does not have a backing on it.  But I have not experienced this as being a big issue.  The quality is great.  I have not had issues with it unraveling or bad spots in the weave.  It is being used in my main living room so it is receiving alot of traffic.  I have 4 children and those children often have friends over.  Trust me, it is getting broken in quickly and is holding up well.

Pros: Not too thick, semi-soft (as soft as jute can be). Looks great!
Cons: none
