This is a very beautiful natural-fibre rug and we think it is excellent!  We purchased it for our screened-in back porch and it adds a real feeling of warmth and comfort to the room.  It is a little thicker than we thought it would be, but it is the thickness and chunky look that make it look so good.  We have had something similar but larger in our kitchen for four years and it still looks great.  We fully expect this new rug for the porch will wear equally well.
