Beautiful Rug. It does not have a plush pile, but instead very tight weave. It looks beautiful in our dining room and has a tradition patter but has helped to update the space. The weave is tight and so far the rug seems very durable. It looks much more expensive then it is and we are very happy with it! The colors are more pinks, blues, grayish taupe, beige and looks great with our slate drapes and grey walls.
