This rug looked nice in the beginning but after having it for about a year now, it isn't holding up well. The way it is made, it has loose ends that are tied in knots and then tucked into the weaving. Over time those ends have come untucked and stick up and I can't get them to stay when I try to tuck them back in. So now I have little ends of frayed ropes and denim sticking up all over. Those tied knots can also be very uncomfortable to step on with bare feet. I wish I had purchased a different rug instead of this one.
