The rug itself gets 5 stars. It's beautiful, with a high knot count and classic design that blends perfectly with handmade rugs. The pile is low so definitely get a good rug pad.  The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the packaging was torn in several places and very dirty. Had to clean dirt off of the carpet back and fringe. The packaging needs to be upgraded to better protect the rugs during shipment.
