I’m liking my new rug!! It really helps define my space. Good quality rug as I don’t have a pad underneath. It took about 2 days to lay completely flat. It’s looks like the advertised photo. Taking one star off because the gold is not gold to me.. more yellowish and my couch is mustard.. but it’s only a swirl or two of the”yellow” and honestly it doesn’t have to be matchy matchy.. it looks great with my furniture..
