I am very pleased with my new rug.  It's gorgeous.. a little thinner than I had expected but then again, I never got the tape measure out to see how thick it would actually be when I arrived.  It's not a problem at all, I would just recommend getting a rug pad for underneath it - especially if you're going to be walking on it a lot.  Very soft, very beautiful.  Has a very rich look to it.  Can't wait for the larger version of it to arrive!
