Gorgeous rug!  Exactly as described!  I put a rug pad under it and love it.  About two days of books on the edges and they laid down nicely.  A few bumps in the rug also laid down with a bit of time.  Of note please follow instructions for vacuuming!  You will need a vacuum without beater barrotation.  It will pull at your rug loops!  This rug is worth every penny!
