I have purchased two of these particular sheepskin pelts. They are both very high quality; dense, thick and plush. The backside of the pelts lay flat (the back feels like sueded leather.) Personally, I like the quality of wool that originates in New Zealand or Australia over that which comes from China. One of my Northland pelts covers a leather recliner which makes the chair much more comfortable. The other pelt is on the seat of the sofa for the same reason. I would recommend this product to anyone who is in the marketplace for a sheepskin pelt. And the pelts make a great, unique gift. Once you own a good quality sheepskin, most people will want another.
