Really beautiful rug! I was able to purchase it for more than 75% off making it really worth the price. It is true what some reviewers said that it reads differently depending on the angle, but I positioned it so I see the navy when walking into the room and it looks great. I've only had it for a few days so I can't speak to the quality, but it's very soft and definitely worth the $300 for 9 x 12 size.
