This area rug is so beautiful, it should be the showcase piece in whichever room it is placed. I bought it for a dining room rug and quickly realized it is too lovely to have furniture on it. The description is spot on....it is thick, the colors are true and it is nicely woven. Vacuuming to eliminate the (wool) shedding is getting old but I assume at some point it will end. I wish my cat didn't love it so much. Her claw marks do smooth out eventually.....another plus with this rug.
