I didn't realize that it was a thin rug (I am used to thick, wool rugs), so I was tempted to send it back without looking at it.  However, I decided to at least roll it out and "give it a try" and I'm so glad that I did. It's beautiful!  I was trying to bring in some greys and purples together and this I is perfect.  It has a hint of charcoal in the background, which is what I needed without darkening the room too much.  Love, love, love it!
