My husband just re-did our kitchen. I've been looking for rugs for months and when I saw this rug I knew I had to get it. I purchased a runner and a rectangular rug to protect the wood floors.  This rug is gorgeous and very high quality.  Its wool so its durable and soft and the colors are vibrant.  It's heavy too so I don't even need to use a slip guard under it because once I put it down, it didn't move.  I have ordered another runner to go under the chairs at the island.  I would highly recommend this rug.
