I was very hesitant to purchase an area rug online, but after reading all the positive customer reviews, and deliberating for a few weeks, I decided to make my purchase.  The rug arrived a couple of days ahead of the projected delivery date which was a nice surprise.  The colors in this area rug are exactly as the pictures on the site show, and they are rich and beautiful.  The pile is quite low, which is exactly what I wanted -- no "shaggy" type rug which is more difficult and time consuming to vacuum.  That said, the rug doesn't look or feel cheap or flimsy. The low pile still has dimension and is nice and soft.  It's a very nice addition to the room; the price was great and I'm really happy with my purchase.
