I was pretty disappointed in the rug.  It is very attractive and works great in the room, but it wears down quickly and even when washed according to directions it loses pile.  After two cold washes with low heat and damp dry, the rug had bald spots and most of the pile was in the lint filter.  I looked for the perfect rug for our new bathroom for weeks, so it was really too bad that it was of such poor quality, especially for the price.
