The rug is okay, but we selected it because we had another Dash & Albert  brown cat’s paw rug we wanted to pair it with. It isn’t quite as well made as our existing rug, the borders are different dimensions ( one color is narrower by a couple rows and the other border wider by a couple of rows), and the cats paws are easily half again larger than those on our existing rug. We contemplated returning it but the consensus vote of family and friends was to keep it.
