Mixed feelings about this rug.  It's beautifully thick and highly textured.  So textured that I can slip my pinky finger in between the weave.  This thick texture gives the rug a beautiful rich look and feel when walked on.  The negatives are that the rug came very full of dirt.  Even though it's beautiful, my big dogs claws snag on it and pull the weave.  Also, it's not going to be an easy rug to keep clean as the dirt disappears deeply into the weave.
