Beautiful rug but not durable as described. Our kid spilled a little juice on it and when we blotted it to the fibers of the rug became damaged. Little did we know rugs that contain viscose cannot handle any type of moisture (even water). This rug is 70% viscose which makes it very delicate, not for a kitchen table. Better in a more formal room with little foot traffic. Very beautiful rug though. The mix of high/low pile gives it interesting texture and the viscose gives it a luxurious sheen and softness.
