This is the perfect rug for the use I intended, which is a high-traffic kitchen area. The colors are beautiful and seems easy to maintain. However, the look and feel is quite different from a real hand-woven wool rug. The pile height is quite low, and you can see it's printed. So, I would not have it in a living room or as the masterpiece of my home. It is great value for what I need, in a high traffic / easdy manintenancespace.
