I purchased this rug for its durability, because it is wool, and because I liked the small-scale pattern pictured. The rug pictured on the site is actually a much larger rug (perhaps 9x12') so the scale of the pattern is much larger in real life and in my photo, here. The pattern is also not as symmetrical as the photo- there are several areas where the weave is much tighter so the pattern is much narrower than the rest of the rug (see picture, the foot is marking the area where pattern is smaller)
It seems fabulously durable, I give it that.
It is too thick to be placed in a room with inward-opening doors as the door bottom catches on the rug.
We've decided to keep it for its durability and great (on sale) price.
