I read reviews, and researched area rugs till i was blue in the face.  I kept coming back to this one.  It appeared to be just what we needed.  I was afraid to order a rug without seeing it in front of my face, but i took a chance anyway.  I had been ill and wasn't able to get out to the stores at the time.  I was ordering the 8x10, and i fret over making a decision like that so it took me awhile to decide.  The colors are beautiful, and true to picture.  Midnight/dark navy blue, dark terracotta, cream, and gold.  Our wall unit is cherry wood, and it works beautifully.  Came packaged wrapped within a box.  No damage.  Just beautiful.  Very happy!
