I have not purchased area rugs before on-line and did worry about my decision to do so.  Everything worked out very well beginning with the product arriving earlier than the original estimated date.  The color is wonderful on my auburn birch hardwood floor which is in the mid-range of color--not overly dark and not light either.  It's been on the floor a week and many people have seen it, some more than once; all rave about how good it looks  It laid flat at the ends within a day.  The smoke gray is the dominant color and compliments my upholstered furniture and wall color perfectly (all in the gray family)

Pros: Good price; good guality....so soft it's fun to walk barefoot
Cons: No Cons
