This is a gorgeous rug and really pulls our space together giving it an extra element of warmth and a sense of extra cozy comfort. It’s a sturdy, but fairly thin rug, with very little pile, which for us is perfect because we put it over the top of the 20 year old existing carpet it the room. With three cats with claws, the low pile is a must because otherwise they shred our carpeted floors and they haven’t touched this rug at all!  Lastly, the price was unbeatable for a rug this size (approx 8x11 feet)!
