This is a beautiful rug. If you 
 are going for a natural or 
 neutral theme, this rug will 
 work as well as any other 
 higher priced rug. It was 
 much thicker than I 
 expected, it has a nice slight 
 sheen with natural gradient 
 in color, and it smelled great 
 (natural, slightly eucalyptus-
 y) right out of the packaging. 
 My whole family, with largely 
 varied preferences, loves it!
