I did have an Oriental rug that cost over $1000, and honestly, this one for the great price it was, I like much better. I have 6 small pets, plus we downsized to a small condo, so these rugs are walked on and played on by the 4 legged fur babies, but they still look brand new like they haven't even been walked on. I love the depth of these carpets (I got 2 of the 9 x 12s, 5 of the runners, and one 5 x 8 all the same in gray except one in the aqua, same design throughout the two bedrooms and LR/DR. Just lovely ! I've also spilled something on one, and quickly cleaning it, and you can't tell anything was ever spilled. If you have wood floors, do put something under the rug until that spot dries so not to ruin your wood floors.
I will also say that IF anything does happen that I should need to replace these rugs, I will buy the same thing again especially at Overstock's prices. These are soooo much better than those at the big box stores if you have been looking.
