Not practical for highly traveled areas
Looks better in advertisements than in real life. I guess as with many Jute rugs, it's VERY messy. There is dust and loose fibers under this rug all the time-no matter how often you vacuum. But I think my biggest disappointment and surprise was with the thickness. Maybe it listed & I just missed it, but be ware - this piece is about an inch fat. It's very massive all around so if you have small children, elderly or pets, patrolling the are I would not recommend. The pattern is very nice and unique, the jute is rustic, but again, not practical if placed in a highly trafficked area; at least in my opinion....
