I really love the way this rug looks! I am giving it only 3 stars for the following reasons. 1 The rug doesnt seem to be woven square. By this I mean that the lines are not as straight as I would like them to be. I have an ottoman that is rectangular and the measurements are perfect for it to fit right on the edges of the small inner squares in the corners. However, when I attempt this is never works out perfectly square. I have checked the ottoman and it is square. The lines just dont look as straight as I had hoped for such an architectural design. 2 The black is not a true black and in some lighting actually looks like a grey green color. Its not so bad that I will send this back but had I known prior to ordering I would not have picked this rug.
