This is the most gorgeous rug I've ever owned! Everyone that has seen it says how pretty it is. I love that it's  not found in every catalog either. It looks just like the photo and the ribbons in the star bursts just add to the elegance. I did have to wait though (ended up waiting about five weeks since it was on back order) but it was so worth the wait. I can't wait to have my family see it on New Year's Eve!!
