This rug is actually even better in person! I assumed it was going to be thin, based on the photos.- couldn’t have been more wrong, the rug is very thick and beautiful. The only thing I will say is I can tell this rug is going to be a challenge with my dog. It is a very textured rug with large loops of a thick yarn. I have the rug in a high traffic area and I know long term it’s not going to be practical. I can already tell his paws are going to end up pulling out the yarn parts. BUT even that being said the rug is so gorgeous, it’s worth it.
