Very pretty rug.  We ordered the 7'10" x 10'3" and the size was accurate.  The fibers of the rug are soft.  It is not a thick rug so you will need a rug pad.  We purchased a 3/8-inch felt pad.  In hindsight I wish I had gone with a thicker pad to give it a little more cushion.  There are a number of colors in the rug and it has hints of the turquoise color we painted our walls.  Be aware that the shade of the rug strongly depends on the angle from which you view it.  From the side, like when you enter the room, it appears pale, but the colors are darker when you are directly on the rug.  (I tried to show the effect in the first 3 photos.)  Also, depending on which way you brush your hand over the rug, the orange is light in one direction and more of a burnt orange in the other.  The rug was very well packaged for shipping.  We especially liked that the ends of the rolled up rug were protected with a cardboard "cap"  to avoid damage.
