I purchased a 12x18 size and its perfect for our living room! The rug is surprisingly soft and comfortable to walk on. Purchasing a rug online is kinda scary because you dont know how it feels, but this one is so soft, thick, and well made! There were a few fibers that came out or stuck up as it was getting settled, but easily removed with scissors. The colors change with the lighting or direction they are laying. There are different heights to the fibers which gives it a beautiful dimension. Its easy to clean with a wet rag and a little elbow grease. I wish the gold was more gold though.  It looks like a muted yellow most of the time due to lighting, but even in the sun, is still pretty muted. It actually matches my hard woods really well, so Im very happy with the purchase.
