I would not recommend this rug.  Instead of being delivered in a roll, this large rug came folded up over & over; after several days on my floor all the deep folds will not come out & the rug will not lie flat.  The nap is rather thin & so maybe that is why the folds will not come out & it is a safety hazard with people tripping over it.  I prefer synthetic rugs over wool for stain removal in high traffic areas & I have other similar rugs, but this one is not acceptable. I am sending it back for a refund as it is truly defective.
