This gorgeous wool rug arrived at my front door.  It was so heavy I had to pull it onto the foyer rug and slide it into the room behind two chairs in the room where it was to go.  Then, I had to wait four days for my handyman to help me remove the old pad and rug and place this beauty.  It is perfect, in every way, as was the pad.  We had to trim the pad but it was easy.  Used a pair of heavy duty scissors.
