This rug is beautiful, thick, and super comfy to sit on, however, within weeks it's become incredibly dirty (to the point I'm embarrassed and it's not something I can clean myself, I'll have to hire carpet cleaners). Think twice before getting this rug and placing it where there will be any kind of traffic. Also, there are several strands that have loosened and become longer than the others so I have to go in and cut them down.
