We bought (5) of these rugs about 4 years ago and they have held up very well. Real quality. I like that the tags actually have the person's name (hand signed) that made the rug.
The colors on this were perfect (and very close to the catalog page; I checked that as well as the online reproductions). It arrived sooner than I was told it would. The quality is very good -- the braids are firm, the stitching is sound. It feels wonderful to the hand and underfoot and the colors make my living room cheery in all different slants of light.
Best of all, it was created of natural fibers here, in the US, by American workers, subject to all wage and hour and safety laws. I know when my children play on that rug that it wasn't made by other children who were sold by their parents. And I know that it isn't full of lead dust, or finished with a spritz of formaldehyde.
We have the room size, the runner and a small oval in front of a chair! They wear wonderfully, clean up easily and add warmth and comfort to our home. We can't say enough about these rugs. Old time quality/feel, great colors! Don't drag chairs or anything with weight as they will pull and stretch and you could even break the stitches. We have 3 young kids and our room size is under the dining room table. So far, it is tougher than they are!!!
Six years ago I purchased a braided rug (honey multi) to go under my dining room table. It still looks really great. Also, I have 2 cats who are testers for this rug. Each day they have scratched, clawed and took their naps on it. My cats have been unable to destroy this braided rug. I am so impressed with this rug, I have purchased a new one (grass green) to put in the family room to give it warmth for this winter. It maybe more expensive than other braided rugs out there but I feel this rug will last many years to come (worth it). This is a well made USA product, high quality and durability. And is cat tested.
