I purchased this area rug to anchor our bed in the master bedroom after having hardwood flooring installed in the room.  For the price point, this area rug is fantastic!!  It gives the rustic, transitional look at a price the average person can afford.  It compliments our hardwood flooring and bedroom furniture beautifully.  It is soft and has a little bit higher pile height than other inexpensive rugs. (Note - you must use a rug pad underneath though if you are placing on hardwood flooring to protect your investment from scratching.)  Couldn't be happier with this purchase - in fact bought two of the smallest in this rug's sizes to place on the floor in our closets.
