This rug was worth the wait! A few issues with delivery but it sorted itself out. The colors were exactly what I was looking for-a little bit lighter in person vs the images online. The tassels also add a nice touch. Its the cozy look I wanted for my living room. The rug is also super soft-no mat needed underneath. I just received this rug, so it still needs a few days to settle and fluff up, but overall very happy with this purchase!
