I had looked at this rug for almost two years, considering placing it in my dining room, which is heavy with mid century furniture. I was worried it would look too trendy, but I was wrong. The rug is very simple and classic. You definitely need a pad underneath and some of the wool has come undone on the edges, but I'm incredibly happy with my purchase. Also I feel that it's fsirly durable. My small dog is constantly thrashing around on the rug and prefers to play fetch on it, and it continues to hold up.
