On the level of being pleased with an online purchase....I wish there were 6 stars.  We were really struggling with finding a rug large enough for our new home.  We went to lots of rug retailers who were quoting us 3,000+ for a rug this size.  We have dogs, and needed a rug that would stand up to heavy traffic, while still giving our new home a look of sophistication we hoped for.  It seemed impossible until we found this rug.  The great thing about it is that the background is a beautiful ivory which lends a look of elegance, but the pattern which incorporates some gorgeous chocolates, greens, greys, and subtle navy hides everything.  All of the colors are so unobtrusive that it will coordinate with any color profile.  I've read a lot of comments that this rug is thin, and I agree, but not thin like cheap.  I also noticed that no one commented on how soft it is.  I'm so happy that I'm ordering the same rug in a different size for our dining room.  GREAT!
