Love this rug.  It's well made and has held up well over the past year.  I have two small dogs that manage to chew everything they get their teeth on, but not this rug.  It's a very tight weave and very sturdy.  The one drawback, for the first couple of months it sheds, but this is very common with a rug made of wool.  Once the shedding shopped, it was terrific.  I needed a round rug and they're not always easy to find, particularly with the colors I wanted.  This fit the bill just fine.  I would recommend this area rug.
