This rug is perfect, and you can't beat the price. It replaced a sisal rug that my dog had destroyed when she got sick a few weeks ago. I had a carpet/rug cleaner come in to clean it, and he quoted $850 and said he couldn't guarantee it getting cleaned! Wayfair to the rescue. I looked for a large rug in that price range that could be delivered in a week (which I needed in time for a Christmas party I was hosting). It arrived on time and I was shocked at how nice it looks in my formal living room...way better than the one it replaced. It is thick, and the colors are muted. We have a very expensive rug in our den and this one looks every bit as nice.
