I like seagrass rugs and don't mind the texture at all. I did trim a few loose ends but that is to be expected. This rug has a perfect black edging. It is a beautiful, organic, classy and a neutral rug. On the downside it was over a week late. I realize deliveries are delayed now and if delivery will take 'x' days don't quote 'y' days. Just be upfront. I would buy this rug again.
