I wasn't sure what rug to get, but I wanted a gray one and I loved the raised pattern in it.  It's very classic and looks good in my dining room.  The only problem was that the ends weren't protected and in transit, someone must've dragged it and the plastic ripped.  When I opened it, some of the edge string had pulled, but it wasn't enough for me to return it.  So, 5 stars for the rug.  3 for the packaging.
