We needed an area rug for our great room and this one is perfect for it. We also ordered the matching runner. I was fearful that it wouldn't look like it did in the picture (straight lines and polka dots) but when it arrived my concerns were gone. The rugs are very dense and very soft. I would have given them 5-stars but when they are new, the wool sheds profusely which clogged my sweeper hose. I recommend initially using a stiff scrub brush to go over the carpet and get all of the loose fabric fuzz out of it before vacuuming for the first time. That did the trick!  We're happy with the price and our purchase.
