Love the look and feel of this rug.  My only issue is that around the 3rd string from the white tassels (into the jute part of the rug) is unraveling. On both ends!  Both sides.  It looks like the horizontal jute was cut across 3rd string down and four inches from the sides of the rug.  I didn't see it upon the first inspection, but over time these have all pulled apart, exactly the same on each end, in exactly the same place, on both sides of the rug - obvious defect.  The fringed ends are now a curved shape. I've had the rug 6 monthly now and needs replaced.  It's a shame because the rest of the rug is beautiful and if I knew how to cut 6" off the ends and re-hem them I'd be golden.  That's not really the point though, is it?  As for color and picture it is exactly like its shown.
