Beautiful rug.. however it is not very durable when it comes to kids or pets. It snags very easily. I have only had it down for about a week to two weeks and it has several snags and the ends are unraveling (this part has not been touched). Also, important to know (another reviewer mentioned this, so I was aware) that the strings on the end are on the length of the rug. Still very cute. I will be moving it to my bedroom so that a majority of it is protected by being under my bed.
