Not what I expected.  The rug isn't as flat as the pictures portray it to be...The carpet is quite thick and is more so a piece of carpet, than a rug with tassels.  The red color is not as deep and rich.  It's almost a Rose, which is not the color I needed to match the established color palette. Very sad. Having to pay for shipping for a 31 pound rug is also not an exciting realization. Feels like more of a punishment as opposed to the company helping to get an item I am actually happy with.
