I waited SO long for this rug to come back in stock in the size that I needed for the room and then so patiently for it to ship and arrive. I was so excited for this rug so when it arrived and we rolled it out, it was pretty anticlimactic. The braids aren't really braids, they're just glued down into a braid like formation and some of them have started to come up already. The "braid" is also very loose so you can see the bottom of the rug and things fall into those nooks and crannies and get stuck there. I can only imagine how gross it's going to get long term. Last, but not least, this rug SHEDS worse than any cat or dog out there. We don't even own a cat or dog, but our whole house and our clothing looks like we do. We've vacuumed the rug twice and filled two whole cannisters with the fuzz from the rug that continues to she'd 2 weeks into owning this rug 

Honestly, it looks good in the room, but the other negatives far out weigh its looks, so I could only give it 3 stars.
