Let me first say I love the pattern of this rug. I also have a Loloi rug in my entry way, so I knew the type of rug I was getting. However, the rug I received has big white, bare blotches on it. I’m not sure if this was a defective one or if this was the designer’s attempt at making it look antiqued. But it just looks like bare patches… or like someone dropped a cup of bleach on it. It’s very disappointing and unattractive. The rug looks nice in photos but in person it’s not nice. I would have been very happy with this rug if the bare splotches weren’t there but unfortunately I’m returning it.
