It's a very pretty rug and the minute I put it down, I loved it. The color is beautiful. I like the rugged texture (this is not a soft, fluffy rug) and thought it would wear well in a room that gets a lot of traffic. The problem is the way it's made, as it turns out. It's a looped rug, which I knew from the pictures, except that it's a continuous loop. In other words, they don't tie off each loop. This is probably why it's inexpensive. It's is a horrible rug if you have pets and if you're a cat owner in particular. One quick scratch by the cat and the thing unravels. My rug is a day old and already has bald spots. It's too big to pull the loops back through and there is heavy furniture that sits on it. I bought the 8x10 size.

If you don't have pets, enjoy! But, if you're a pet owner, and especially a cat owner, buyer beware.
