Mixed Review.
Let's see if I can articulate this. On the plus side, this is a striking, unique rug. I like tribal, graphic designs and this one fits the bill. Colors are shades of brown, tan and white. Even the close up photo doesn't show the actual weave; imagine thin strips of leather, about 1/4" of various lengths, woven through cotton thread. It's very nubby and lumpy with little ends exposed here and there. I got it on sale for $$$ so I have no complaints, but I'm having a hard time rating it because, while it might be fine for a lightly used room, I can see how it might be a disaster for someone with pets who like to dig around on the rug or under a table where chairs have to be moved in and out. Also, the nubby texture would make it rough to roll around with an office chair. Don't know how long the cotton threads will last, either. Also...professional cleaning recommended. I'm not sure that I know of a carpet cleaner who does leather. I guess I'd say that I'd give it 4 stars for appearance and 2 for practicality...so I gave it a 3 :)
