We looked at countless rugs, and I am so pleased we chose this one! The details are impressive: the colors are true to the description photos, it is incredibly soft and I prefer the shorter pile. It is obvious the rug is well made; the binding is tight and the fringe is the perfect length. I only wish we would have bought the 9x13 size-it is that beautiful. End your internal debate: buy it! You won’t regret it!
