Ordered this rug in a 4x6 for our front foyer. Although the color did not even remotely match the picture, I fell in love with it. I was SO happy with this rug, that  I ordered an 8x11 for our family room. That rug is beautiful as well. However, there are hard pokey spots throughout the rug. I believe it is something in the mat/bottom of the rug coming though. The smaller rug does not have these. The worst spots are covered by our furniture. If it was local I would return it, but it is such a pain to return rugs, and we really do love the look, so we will be keeping it!
