If you are hesitant on this rug don’t be! I am here to say this rug is beautiful. This rug is very soft, looks exactly as pictured, the patterns are beautiful. The gold parts also shine a little in the sun. Everything about it makes it worth the money. I love it! Usually when rugs are tightly rolled up, the edges of the rug are hard to lay flat with this one I did not have that problem. Would definitely recommend! I get compliments from everyone who enters my home.
