This is a beautiful natural rug that brings the texture and casual beachy feel I wanted to my dining room. I absolutely love the look and the fact that it didn't have a strong jute odor when it was unwrapped and unrolled. The rug is actually a bit softer than expected and looks beautiful against my dark wood floor. My only concern is that it appears a bit fragile. I'm hoping it will hold up well being used under my table but that is yet to be seen.
