I like the Chevron design, and the scent of the natural fiber. It can be moved around easily, so will not show wear patterns like regular carpeting. Since it's made from natural fibers, it is healthier too, for it doesn't emit chemicals that are a danger to ones' environment. Lastly, there's a sentimental reason . My Grandmother had rush matting and this rug reminds me of my childhood. How much better can it get? Thank you for supplying such a good product.
