I saw a similar jute rug to this but the price was a little out of my budget, so it became my mission to find similar at less expense. Wow, you will not get better value than this! I was so pleased when I found it. The quality is exceptional for the price and it is so unique. It definitely matches the description and picture. Only slight issue was that the care label loosened some of the jute as I pulled it off. Not a big deal and adds to the character. I love that it works so well against my dark wood flooring in my hall.
