We really like the area rug and the rug pad and the colour is accurate.  Waiting for the roll marks to come out of the area rug though.  A comment re: shipping....when I ordered it over the phone, I explained to the customer service person that we were going to be away and requested a specific day for delivery.  She said she would note that and it would come on a specific day.  It arrived six days early and fortunately, we happened to be home.  I don't know why this happened but it could have resulted in the delivery sitting outside our home for six days if it had arrived a day later.  It should have been delivered on the day we had agreed to.
