The rug is inexpensive, so no surprise that it is not the best quality. I wasn't looking for great quality, just a small rug with good color; and this rug delivered on that.  I gave it a 1 star review because it came rolled up so tight that the jute backing cracked on the side that was at the center.  I can work with that by hiding that side, but it could have been avoided by wrapping the rug around a tube.
