This is certainly a beautiful and unique rug which I took a chance on.

Here's a few things to know, keep in mind I got the 8x10 :

-It looks like the photo exactly which surprised me.
-It might need to be aired out for a little while after you receive it, has a slight odor, but goes away after a day or two.
-It can work with a large variety of decor types.
-Not the most comfortable to walk on barefoot but otherwise fine.
-It is very full with the leather strips, I have it in a area with high traffic and a few pieces came off, though not noticeable due to the generous amount of strips. This rug is holding up decently considering how much it gets tread on.

All in all I recommend this if you want something different that will stand out wherever you put it. I am very happy with this purchase as it's even better than I expected.
