This rug blew my expectations out of the water! Not only is it beautiful but it is very well made. The colors are are not in your face but neither are they muted, they are just right. The edges are sewn wonderfully and I highly doubt there will be any issues with pulling or strings. The backing is smooth (which I highly prefer) meaning that it will not stick to the ground. And the size is exactly as advertised, not shorting any length or width. Overall this is a beautiful rug that will last for years and years in my home!
