I bought one of these real lamb skin rugs a long time ago for this amount of money and still have it. I felt from the description that this one was supposed to be the same type and size, but it is shorter and narrower. It is also fabric backed whereas my previous one is actually the hide. I wanted it to match my previous one and put it on the other side of the bed in the Master bedroom, but because it doesn't, it is in a guest bedroom. Still a decent, soft rug for the money.
