I love this rug, my family doesn't but, I don't care! It is beautiful and well made. If you have heavy shedding dogs, I couldn't recommend it since getting hair out of it isn't easy. It is very well made but it is on the thin side for a rug. I bought the better (read thicker) padding for underneath and I suggest you do the same. It protects from sliding around, but better yet, it makes the rug feel thicker and more luxurious. I love it and you will too!
