We have had this rug in the large 10x14 size for well over a year now. It's beautiful. I love the look of it, and it's very thick and looks very expensive.  Five stars for looks. Over time however, it looks very worn and "pilled" in some areas.  We do not wear shoes in the house, and have 1 lazy cat (no kids).  The vacuum and just general wear & tear , and it just hasn't held up as well as some of our thinner rugs.  We are going to have to replace it soon unfortunately.  Three stars for wear.
