This rug is pretty, but I wouldn't recommend it for a number of reasons. First, the pile looked flat after just a few months of moderate use. The rug also sometimes buckles in the middle and moves around. (It's not heavy, so it doesn't stay flat always.) I purchased a Safavieh rug for, honestly, pretty much the same price 4 years ago for my living room. It's seen way more use and it looks/feels way superior in quality to this rug. Wish I'd gone that route again instead of getting this brand.
