Beautiful rug...if you intend only on using is as a showroom rug. Otherwise, this rug will not last very long. Not even a couple hours of unrolling it, the loops began to loosen. Having four cats obviously did not help this. After a week, it looked like a disaster! And so the pain-in-the-neck return process began. I cannot recommend this rug at all if you plan on living even a little bit on it. Definitely NOT a pet-friendly rug.
