Pros & Cons
Pros
This rug is thick and closely woven. The price is excellent for a handmade rug. We were surprised; the quality is very good and it was smooth as soon as we unrolled it.
Safavieh produces great quality wool rugs without all the shedding. Wish it had non-skid backing but still love the rug.
Cons
This rug sheds wool lint terribly.
