Love the look of the rug but quality is lacking.  I had noticed a pull in the sisal when I opened it up and thought that maybe it was just a fluke.  Nope!  After a couple of weeks there are several all over the rug.  It is disappointing to say the least.  The rug gets very little traffic as it is just my husband and I so I'm not sure what I could do differently to prolong it.  I'll use it then toss it I guess!
