This rug wound up being slightly smaller than I expected. I did measure the space, but failed to take into account that the length and width listed on the site includes the fabric that makes up the "legs" of the "cow," so the rug may seem a bit smaller than it actually is. I loved that this rug has flecks of metallic gold in it; I didn't notice it when looking at the photos on the site, but it was a fun and welcome surprise. Just be aware that this rug will not appear to be 100% authentic cowhide with those sparkly gold flecks.
