I love this rug! i was afraid it'd just be printed like so many other rugs are nowadays, but it's truly woven with both black and pale, pale gray (not quite white) yarns, and finished edges. let me tell you, when it got delivered and i picked it up and it was so light, i definitely panicked that it was going to be cheap, but it is somehow lightweight and of nice quality. doesn't slip around, and seems to be a good weave that cats won't scratch to bits easily, but so far my guy hasn't attempted to sharpen his claws on it.  i also bought Scotch carpet guard, because i know for a fact i'm not going to keep it clean. hopefully that holds up well.
