I tend to be a little conservative when it comes to color and pattern on larger pieces, so this rug was a risk and a stretch for me... but something about it just really seemed special. It arrived well wrapped and when I first opened it up, I was a little nervous as the colors were a little more muted than I thought they would be. But after I rolled it out and looked at it, it was every bit as beautiful as I had hoped! It ties my room together nicely. Its thinner than I imagined but it’s quite soft and seems well made. I would definitely recommended it to my friends and family!
