This rug is not what I was expecting it is very poorly made, and  I would not recommend any one to buy this item,  The fact that the backing of the rug is white and shows through areas on the front of the rug  looks like tiny bits of paper scattered all over the rug the edging looks like the mat has frayed as that is showing the backing nearly all the way across the rug. It may had looked better  if the backing had been brown.  The only good thing that I can say is i  like is the colour.  I was hoping the mat would be better once the folds of were it was packed would resolve the problems, of the bits of white backing  showing though  but I  feel that i should return item back. I now  feel very nervous about purchasing any other rug from you
