This rug is just as gorgeous in person as in the photos and you can't beat the pricing! There is a very subtle, well done vintage effect and the tassels are a perfect addition. The rug is on the thin side, so if you're looking for something cushy you should get a rug pad. The only not so great thing about it is that mine still hasn't gone totally flat. It's normal to take a few days for a new rug to lay flat after unrolling, but this has been a few weeks and it's still a bit lumpy. We're using weights to try to work it out!
