I just bought this rug online a few days ago and received today. It is absolutely stunning! Over the years I have bought many area rugs. This time around I wanted to buy a more luxurious, high quality rug - 100% wool. I was not disappointed! I am amazed at the quality of the rug and how thick and comfortable it is to walk, sit or lay on -- all that and I still have not placed the rug pad underneath. I have a small 1/2" rug pad leftover from another area rug I cut and placed it underneath this new rug... it feels like I am walking on a cloud. The craftsmanship is excellent and the colors pop just like in the photo. I am extremely happy with my purchase and look forward to enjoying my new rug for many, many years come.
