I could not love this rug any more!  It is soft (velvety/shimmery) with very low pile.  Added a Rug Pro felt/rubber rug pad to go under it and it is perfect!  I consider it to be "Muted Moroccan" in style.  I actually found some perfect pillows to go with it at World Market (see pics).  The price was amazing.  Free delivery took about a week.  I would not hesitate to buy this rug.  I wish they had it in a runner.
