I can honestly say that I am very pleased with my purchase of this black ar ourea rug. It's placed in front of our dining room sliding door that leads into the patio; we have black drapes with beautiful light pink flowers and green leaves throughout. The rug adds more beauty and class to the dining area. I purchased another black long rug from another company that looked cheap and would not stay in place. This rug not only stays in place without using a rug liner but it does not move when walking on. This is truly a winner if you need a nice black rug.
