Nice rug esp for the price. I read reviews about softness (it is soft for natural fiber) and durability (I have 2 dogs). Rug is too new to tell about durability but so far, so good. Looks great against dark hardwood floor. I also like tag that says no child labor used to make rug. (I hope that's true.) BTW, I was looking for a rectangular rug -- this only comes in round. The round rug looks fine.
