It’s a beautiful rug but unfortunately very flawed in several places. The finish at the edges isn’t great and there were a couple of small patches as if the colour didn’t take to it and appear white. Having used a damp cloth on a muddy footprint that didn’t come off completely with the hoover, I was disappointed to see that the area where I used the cloth appeared to have stained in a much larger area than the footprint. It’s like the colour hasn’t “set” properly during manufacturing. I’m disappointed cos it was a really nice addition to my room, but it wasn’t a low price either so I’ve returned it. I might just have been unlucky with the one I purchased.
