It took me almost three months of shopping around to finally find this rug on Wayfair. I looked at all the local stores where I live and found not nearly the selection that this website has and the prices are extremely reasonable. This is the first area rug that I have purchased and I was happy with it from the moment it arrived at my doorstep. I bought it for my living room to add a rustic touch. I had recently torn up all the carpet in my home and put in hard wood floors. I have three large dogs who had been sliding on the floors, but no more with this rug. I like this rug so much I may order another one to put in my dining room. It feels heavy duty but still refined enough on appearance to be attractive.
