I bought this rug (in Light Blue/Gray) for two different rooms in my house and I have been very happy.  I hate cheap, synthetic rugs, so these look really good at a price lower than most wool rugs.  So far, no problems with wear or staining, but these are in low traffic parts of my house. Rugs are on the thinner side, but I’m happy with how plush they are given I didn’t put any kind of rug pad underneath.  FYI, in December 2019 I paid $489 plus tax for 9x12 and looks like this size currently sells for $699.
