My husband and I love our new rug - it was on super sale, so that was definitely an added benefit.. but regardless, it is very pretty and durable. We put it in our dining room with our dark wooden farm table. It makes the room have a 'tribal' feel to it, if you will. Very 'cultured' looking.. we love it.  

Cons: It is definitely going to take a while to flatten the rug out, but I feel that this is an issue with all rugs.
