I think it s beautiful rug, definitely completes the "natural" look I was going for in my condo. I noticed that there were some loose ends/threads on the rug (but it is hand woven... so I now I would expect that to be the case). There were some weird dark coloured hard/"twig-like" pieces in the rug. But they are easily removed (not sure what that is about.. looking at other review pictures they seem to be in every rug). It sheds alot (I lifted the carpet after having in my condo for one week and it left some dust under... hopefully this "rougher" texture won't scratch the laminate below it). I'll be keeping the rug though, I think its unique and matches me taste well :)
