There were two main drives behind my choice for this rug price and size. The fact that the motif is lovely helped too. It arrived today and I only have to say to anyone considering this item the sizing is WRONG. This is not 5’x8’ as listed. Guess the conversion table did not do its job as it’s missing 4” in both directions. This is a constant when buying items that are converted from metric to imperial (8’ equals 243.84cm not 230cm which is the manufacturer’s size stamped below the carpet) so make sure to double check when you but anything not made in the US!!! Makes me sad because I discarded anything under 8’ which is the size that I actually needed ...  Took out one star for the sizing issue - as I’ve to blame that on the seller, not the product - and two more for being rolled in a way that it will take quite a bit for the edges to go flat.
