These rugs were stinky and filled with loose fibres when I unpacked them, and havent gotten too much better on either of those points in the four months since. They are great for the modern rustic look...for the first couple of weeks. There were some loose strings especially at one end almost immediately and now after periodically gently shaking to clean, the one end looks like it was chewed by a horse. The rustic look just looks like a cheap rug falling apart now. Also, the non-slip cushion I purchased wont fit under the carpet without hitting the door, so weve almost lost a few people and dogs to slips and falls when walking into our house. If I were to do it again, I would definitely purchase the protection plan, as I called customer service and there was absolutely nothing they could do outside of the short return period.
