Is this the one? Don't have it but do have a moss and sage Pottery Barn wool rug that has worn like iron for the 8 years or so we have had it! I've used it right inside our front doorway most of this time so it gets tons of abuse. Good luck finding the one you want! Cathie Here is a link that might be useful: Bowan rug

I know - I have loved a few PB rugs online, and when I have gone to the local store to check them out - wow! What a difference! I saw that the other pics looked very different from the first one in her auctions, and just know they are of the real rug. If you wrote her that you are interested in one, maybe she'd take a photo of her smallest one in daylight, so you can really tell what you're buying. My experience is that the catalog and their online photos are usually richer/deeper than the true colors.

I have the 6' round under my kitchen table and I really like it. It has held up fine to the chairs - the cats are a different story. They have decided one spot is perfect for scratching. Even so, I still like it. I found it as a PB outlet so if you have one near you I'd try it first. If the cat damage gets too bad, I'll probably replace it with another one.

Dee, that is a very good point to consider about the shedding. I have a Karastan multi kirmin and am looking to completely change the color scheme so I can't use it. This rug has never shed--I guess that bumps up my expectation of quality. I use Home Depot polypropelene Oriental knockoffs under my dining table in the kitchen, and toss them every 5 years as they get very heavy traffic from kids/dog/ dirty feet coming in from outdoors. They look and feel just ok, but never shed at all and clean up pretty well so I don't have to freak out when someone spills BBQ sauce on it. The LR rug will have to last over the long hall. Maybe I will look at the Karastans at Macys locally to get some ideas on true color. I am hesitant to buy any rug online unless I see the exact one in the flesh first. Any one else out there care to comment on the quality of their Pottery Barn rug? Do they all shed like this, because they are hand tufted? They are half the price of Karastan. Requires some contemplation here.....
