This rug was exactly what I needed. We wanted a solid color but it needed an accent to make it stand out. The tassels are a perfect addition. Alongside the tassels, I love that this rug has a shag appearance with a much softer and looser feel than most shags. This rug will be in our master room and is a great texture to feel when you step out of bed. We are very happy and have already purchased 3 large area rugs because of our satisfaction with the rug quality.
