Five years ago I ordered this rug. Love the soft, thick feel of wool! Have two cats booth with back claws. No problems. I've had several spills that cleaned up spot free with spray rug cleaner, and I have the cream rug with nickel pattern. 
My condo had pale grey walls, and now in my townhouse the walls are more brown/taupe color. The rug has looked very good in both places. I've decided that I want a larger rug now in my living room so ordered a larger one. My older rug has been moved to my dining room.
All around this has been an excellent purchase!!!
