The rug is heavy with luxurious pile and beautiful rich colours that are true to the online pictures. I usually like to know if the rug is woven from continuous filament nylon. Unfortunately, in the process of rushing the finishing touches for our new home before our daughter's wedding, I ordered it without an answer. Since the fiber is made from short pieces of yarn cuts, all you have to do is walk across the rug and there are large, chunky pills of yarn. Under the table after a dinner party, it looks like it's never been vacuumed. Hopefully, in 6 months to a year, this problem will stop.
