This rug is more beautiful than the picture! I couldn't be happier with it. It is not as tightly woven as other jute rugs and this is what I like about it. The color is a beautiful "blonde" color that looks great jn our Florida home. It was delivered in just a few days. I shopped a lot of jute rugs and this price was very good. If it holds up well, this will be an amazing value!
