I think that for the price, this is an excellent value. The rug has a thick pile and I think it will hold up well. As my photos show, there is a lot of color variation in the cocoa rug (pinks, maroons, greens, and browncream). Overall, I think for the right person, this is a fantastic rug. I do not think the colors work for the space I personally chose it for, so I am planning on sending it back. However, in its own right, its a fantastically made rug, and for the right personspace, itd be great!
