Fantastic purchase.  The quality of this rug as well as the entire purchasing experience far exceeded our expectations at the time of purchase!  We received it quickly, it was well packaged, including end cap protection to ensure the ends don't get damaged in any way.  I was hesitant to purchase a rug sight unseen knowing return shipping cost would be on us.  I'm glad I decided to make the purchase.  It is everything I hoped it would be and then some.
