Beautiful and picture perfect!  In fact, it's so perfect that I'm thinking of purchasing a second one.  The past reviews suggested that the color was a lot lighter in person than the online photo, and they were right.  After reading that on the reviews though I was quite hopeful that the reviews were correct and was very happy when it arrived and it really was lighter.  I have darker furniture and I was worried that if the rug was dark as well then I wouldn't have the contrast that was needed.  The rug is great quality; no excessive shedding or loose threads.  It's perfect for the hallway and definitely deserves a full five stars!
