The rug is very nice, I use it in the dining room under my table and chairs. Shipping was great.
However the trim is wider and darker in color, the jute/sisal is a lot coarser than the pictures show and it smells very strong like hay (has been a month, has aired out a bit, still the smell kind of lingers). These are not so much issues as they are just things to know and consider when purchasing. I would not buy this rug if you are looking for a soft cozy bedroom or living room rug as it is rough on bare feet and tough to sit on. For my purpose I like it a lot although you cannot slide the dining chairs back and forth easily, they have to be picked up slightly because of the coarseness of the sisal. Caution if you have cats... they will love to scratch it.
