I was reluctant to purchase a rug online because you can’t really see the true colors, the pile, and feel it for the comfort value. I really liked the look of this rug, so I took a chance and bought it. It is a beautiful rug. It’s soft and feels great under the feet. The colors are true to the website’s photo. I’m glad I went with a thicker pile it adds warmth to the room. You need to let the rug “air out” a few days, as there is a strong smell when first opened.
