The rug, itself, is a very nice pattern and it’s beautiful. However, it is the most fragile thing I’ve ever bought. It absolutely doesn’t stand up to normal wear and tear. If you’re putting it in a room with very little foot traffic, it will be great. In a normal living room, it frays and rips, which is disappointing considering how expensive it is. I’ve bought much cheaper rugs that have stood up to much more.
