This rug looks terrific, but had to return it because my eyes got itchy and watery whenever I was around it. I can't wear wool sweaters for this reason, but I've owned other wool rugs before without issue. I think perhaps the particular type of wool is the problem. The rug also sheds more than others, which might have contributed. Also, the trellis pattern is larger than what is pictured here. This wasn't a problem for me, but just be aware that the pattern isn't as tight. If you don't have issues with wool though, this is a nice looking rug.
