I love this rug!!  It is the perfect rug for the room I have it in.  It is in the den/study with my desk and my cats litter box. The litter doesn't show and the rug always looks great.  It is a very flat, tight pile.  Almost like an indoor/outdoor material.  The color is beautiful as well.  My desk is a light oak and it looks terrific sitting on the rug.  I lays perfectly flat- no curling corners. It is not wool, but for the price it is well worth it.
