I bought this rug online based on the photos and reviews.  I was a little skeptical about the purchase not being able to see it in person or to feel the fabric.  I was more than pleased with this rug.  It is everything I hoped it would be.  The texture is perfect.  The colors are perfect for my dining room/library.  The colors and design even matched my table runner.  This rug met all of my expectations. I highly recommend this rug.
