This is like a very thick kitchen towel, or a sack -- not 'carpet'. Having said that, it stayed like new for several years -- no signs of wear.

This area rug is nothing like the description or picture. Looks more like an outdoor rug. Very, very disappointed. The return policy is awful as well. First and last purchase through Wayfair.

Love this rug! I purchased the rug in a light gray. It is very light weight and goes well with my distressed/farmhouse decor. I'm thinking of purchasing a second rug for another area in my house.
