Have had the rug a bit over 1 year now; color and texture was very striking, attractive and dense when received, but has not held-up well. One portion of the rug is under a skylight. That portion has noticeably more fade than the portion not under the skylight. Likewise, the more heavily trafficked portion of the rug has much more noticeable wear than the less heavily trafficked portion. The rug wears in an unattractive fashion - with pilling, graying, generally looking "worn" or soiled and the depth of the fabric gone. Not a bad rug, but not great. Would be lovely in a largely unused room.

This style is so now! Love the rug, but I found a dead ringer 7x9 at Garden Ridge for $100! You'll have to flip through a few rugs but they're sectioned off by size and worth saving hundreds!
