I absolutelly love the look and colors of the rug. It doesn't seem particularly well made. Some strings come up on the edges and if I pull the string, then it keeps going. So I trim it and keep an eye on it. It is heavy and abolutely beautiful. I don't have it in a high walk area..But I do love the design of it. You had the greatest price out there. I spent hours looking for the best price. I am happy with it and don't want to return it. I don' know with the edges fraying if it will last 5 years. The majority of it is wonderful. I would definately buy this rug again.
