I like it for the purpose I purchased it for, it livened up the room.  The downside of the item is that the leather smelled for the first 4-6wks and had a moldy/gassy scent that filled the room once unfurled.  This may be a result of the storage facility/warehouse.  It is unclear why.  The other downside is cleaning and detached leather strips.  The leather strip detach from the rug often and the rug is difficult to clean.
