This was my first purchase from Wayfair and I was soooo excited to get this area rug.  The colors are more muted than expected but still pretty. The carpet is soft and fairly thick but we also used a .25" under pad.  There were some spots/stains on the carpet that I've not yet tried to clean. The worst part of this carpet is the edging.  It really is terrible and highly visible.  Wayfair offered a number of options and we took the discount versus returning/replacing which is very difficult for an area rug.  Gonna see if I can find teal and cream colored sharpies...
