The feel of woven leather rugs is weird, to be honest. They're hard on the feet until they're softened nicely. This rug, however, has served us so well! First it was to section off my husband's office from our living room, and now it is to cover ugly brown rental carpet in our bedroom. It's so bohemian chic. I adore it. And for the size, you cannot beat the price. TRUST, I looked!
