I have never written a product review before, but feel compelled to write about this. I have been looking on and off for over a year for a quality black wool rug that was reasonably priced. I had tried and returned two rugs already and had given up hope until I found this rug - I was still skeptical but purchased based on reviews. So glad I did. Dense, short pile that's thick and soft and lays perfectly flat on the floor. It's truly high quality for the price. I thought I was going to have to pay $400-500 for a 5x7 to get the right quality and am thrilled to have found this for $200. Really worth it.
