I really like this rug, it's pretty and well made. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the photo makes it look much more pastel and blended. In person, the the way they wove the rug to make it look "distressed" instead makes it look like it has stripes, if that makes sense. Zoom in on the rug and you can kind of see what I mean. I don't think this effect would be as noticeable if the rug was a little more pastel. I'm keeping it because it still looks good in the room, it's just a little more vivid than I was wanting so just keep that in mind as you're looking at the pics.
