It is impossible to find a rug this large at this price point anywhere else (I got the 11.5x16.5' version).  I have looked everywhere. I wanted something that would match white walls (so many ivory coloured rugs look dirty next to it) and would withstand lots of kid spills and dirty dog paws. The rug is thin but is perfect with a cushy underpad. We just laid it down so we're still getting the bubbles out but I think it will flatten out with time. Delivery was super fast and the colours are beautiful. There main colour is turquoise with lots of pale grey and navy blue. It matches well with white, grey, blues and yellows. Time will tell how well it stands up but it hardly shed at all when we got it and doesn't have an overpowering new rug smell. I'm very happy with the purchase.
