I am giving 3 stars because although the rug was exactly as I wanted, it arrived with a dark stain on one end that stiffened the fibers in that area. It was obvious that whoever packed it up could SEE it was dirty yet shipped out it anyway. Was not happy. Decided to keep the rug because the stain does not show on the "good side". 

Pros: Looks exactly as shown. Has a silky feel. 
Cons: Had a stain on back side.
