This is a beautiful rug no doubt.  The look is rich. Considering its a natural weave, its not rough on bare feet.  The only reason I gave it a 3 star vs 4 or 5 star is for 2 reasons:  It does not hold up well to med to large dog traffic, The weave on both of the rugs purchased has "popped up" in places, from the dog nails or tussling.   The 2nd is I would not consider it a light rug, its heavy enough but I have found that even placed on a wall to wall pile rug I needed to place underneath both a no slip mat to keep it in place. Which in and of itself is not a problem except unless its thrown in the deal the no slip mat incurs additional cost.  I do still love the look and feel just wish the weave was done tighter.
