I love this rug. But in the picture it didn't look like a wool blend. I should have looked at more reviews/the description more closely- but it's in our kitchen and I don't think it's the best material. We have a dog who sheds and now we have a rug that adds to the mess. 3 stars because it's my fault for not looking at the material, and it really is a comfy nice rug- just sheds which is annoying.
