This is a very nice, substantial, tightly hooked wool rug.
I took the tassels off as my dog wanted to play with them. 
( they are connected with a kind of slip knot)

Stitches are tight and of excellent quality.

It is black and creamoff-white, not a bright white. 
The criss-cross design area of the rug is actually raised a bit.  
That doesn’t bother me at all, 
but I was a little surprised at first. 

It has taken a lot of wear and tear without any problems whatsoever.  It’s in our upstairs living  and we have a cocker spaniel that loves it.

Worth the price!
