Bought this rug after reviewing previous reviews.  Good call on the premium rug pad....bought that too.  Really like the texture of the rug. Adds character to the room. Saw a similar rug after I ordered this one on Pottery Barn for $700. Score!!  This one looks just as awesome....and I'm picky. 

Pros: Great value, trendy yet will work in the room for years to come. 
Cons: colors are more muted than what photo shows, but I'm fine with that.
