We rec'd this rug at a install at my client's place and I have to tell you. I LOVED THIS RUG. It is so different then what I have seen out there. The pattern comes a live with shaggy leather but soft pieces come up from the rug. I thought that the pattern was flat and weaved but I was wrong. This rug was even better and it was exactly what the space needed. Colour, textured, movement and uniqueness. You won't be disappointed with this rug. Well maybe not a good idea if you had a cat. Just saying...
