I've had my eye on a rug in this style for a long time, but did not want to make a huge investment b/c I'm a mommy of 6 kiddos who are tough on stuff.  This rug does the trick for me.  Keep in mind that you get what you pay for, so if you're expecting a luxurious feel, this rug is not for you.  While it's beautiful (hubby jokes that the lines were painted by a drunk person), it is on the thinner side and not super soft - hence the 4 star review instead of 5.  I was a bit nervous when I first unwrapped it b/c the edges were wrinkled from packing and shipping, but after a day of laying flat, it smoothed itself out.  Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
