I bought this piece for Christmas, thinking of using it as a wall hanging or even a floor rug in our home office. When it arrived, after we looked at it, we decided not to try and wrap it, but to hang it one of our living room walls directly behind our wood burning stove. Because of the smoke pipe leading from the wood stove up to and through the roof made hanging anything difficult to see and to balance out the wall proportionally with some kind of aesthetic sense. Pictures we had put there always seemed out of place and the whole arrangement seemed odd to look at. When we put the rug up on the wall behind the wood stove, it really tied the room together and made that wall really great to look at. Everyone who sees it says it really balances out our living room. We recently had a holiday party, and we lost count of how many compliments we received about the rug in particular and how nice it made out living room look. So we are really very happy about this purchase.
