Wow!  This Charlton Home® area rug is BEAUTIFUL!  (We haven't vacuumed it yet, so there are footprints showing in the photo--sorry!  It may not look it from our photo, but the rug background is indeed BLACK.  The lighting in the room makes it look lighter, but it isn't.)  We just got it in the mail a couple days ago to put in our dining room, and it's even lovelier than the photo  here online.  The colors are SO nice and are true to the photo so it matches our decor.  The ONLY "con" I would have is that it's not quite as thick as I thought it would be, but we will be ordering a pad to go underneath so it won't be a problem.  But this rug is gorgeous, and shipping was pretty fast!
