The colors are beautiful and were exactly what I need (despite one end of the rug being richer in color than the other), the edge stitching seems well done and it is soft. I noticed multiple dark stains that look like grease, so I contacted Wayfair who replaced the rug at no charge. (Good customer service.) The second rug was exactly the same, so it appears these grease-like stains are part of the "character of the rug." I should have opted for the discounted price instead of a replacement but now I'm stuck and will need to make do. Also, be forewarned, this is not a "rug," but more aptly should be described as a floor "mat" as there is zero pile. It is literally a piece of imprinted fabric.
