I was initially confused when I saw this rug because I didn't read the description when it said the material was proproylene so didn't realize that this wasn't a wool rug. After that initial discovery I was able to use this rug in a different area of my house (instead of the living room) and it has worked out perfectly. Can't wait for guests to see this rug and continue decorating my house with other accent pieces from wayfair.com.
