I love the look of the rug.  The colors are beautiful and the design is lovely but the rug and the way it is made (with the loops) did not hold up well to the indoor dogs.  Within days of putting it down, we were cutting loops that had been accidentally pulled by the dogs or by the kids.  If there aren't any animals or kids in the house, this would be a great piece.  As it stands, however, it looks like it is a hundred years old despite the fact we've only had it three months.
