Purchased this rug 2 years ago and it has held up beautifully. We live in Toronto and tried for ages to find something similar that wasn't thousands of dollars. Because the design is trendy and not something one would keep forever, spending a fortune on it made no sense. I honestly didn't expect much given that it was only $200 including exchange and shipping for a huge area rug. It has a few spots where black stitching overlaps onto the ivory but you would have to be on your hands and knees to notice. The only other issue we have had is that it's a little warped where the binding is on one end-for a decent quality area rug at such a crazy price, I can happily live with that. Great purchase
