This braided rug is one of the best we have seen in years. We also could not believe how fast this rug was delivered to our home, and it was a free delivery, not to mention the price was exceptional! As far as we are concerned, quality and customer appreciation is what Wayfair is all about. This rug will be in the living room of our 1789 colonial home in Vermont. We do not place it there lightly on 230 some odd years of wide board flooring!
