So, I think this rug is beautiful, but within a couple weeks, I knew I had made a big mistake. One of the reasons I bought it is because it had such good reviews however, one of the reviews said that where someone’s grandma sat the rug had obviously worn in a very short amount of time. I ordered it anyway. Sure enough, within a few days I started noticing that the pile was rubbing off where my husband sat. It’s a big rug and, in my mind, way too difficult to return, so we just live with it. But every time I see it, I am annoyed. There’s no way to turn the rug so the worn area is not completely obvious, so I just look at it every day and wonder why I didn’t make the effort to return it. I certainly should have.

More lovely that I expected.

I love my area rug. It was much prettier than the picture itself. I will be using it under my dining table. We just finished kitchen and dining room renovation. Much to my surprise, the rug had every color in it that was in my countertop. It is truly beautiful and almost old world style. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed if choosing this area rug. Love love love!!

I love this rug! It is beautiful, elegant, and classy. Wayfair’s description and photos were accurate and it arrived faster than expected. I would not recommend it for a high traffic area or a family room where people might lay on it to watch TV because it is thin and does shed a lot in the beginning. I vacuumed it 3 times in the before it stopped shedding. (Wayfair said it might do this and that it was normal for certain rugs). It is super soft and silky to the touch. The colors in 2 of the corners are slightly more muted than the other corners but I expected that based on the pictures. The colors are neutral with golds, taupe, beiges, blacks, and cream. The pattern is classy and traditional. I also bought the dining chairs from Wayfair and they match perfectly. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Have had this rug for over a year, thought it was fine. Then last night, I knocked over my water bottle and a large splash of water hit it. We got a towel and mopped it up and overnight put a wad under it to help dry it out. When I got up this morning, there was a big splotch where the water had been! It is not a “dyed” rug, if plain water can do this! You can even see where the drops splattered at the edge! Makes me wonder what this thing is made of, if water can ruin it!!
