More like 4.5 stars.

Im on the fence about this rug. Theres nothing wrong with it per se, but something about it is just underwhelming enough that I cant give it 5 stars.

For one, its a bit thin. I knew it wasnt going to be a plush rug-- but its thin enough that you can see the entire border of the rug pad I placed under it. (And even with the Wayfair brand premium rug pad under it, the rug will still bunch up and wrinkle in certain spots that get a lot of foot traffic.)

For another, the overall color is quite muted, like a watery grey. The detailing on the knit rug and the fringing is quite lovely-- but the color is just a touch off, where the rug doesnt look as luxurious as it could be.

For the price, it just misses the mark slightly in these areas. These small gripes were by no means big enough that I wanted to try too repack an 8x10 rug back and return it, and overall I like the rug-- but Im not in love with it either.
