I searched for rugs to compliment our dining room for several months.  This one was below my price range and was better quality than I anticipated for the price.  It is softer than I expected and since size is 8x11 I won't need a carpet pad.  I can't wait to show off during holiday visits from friends and family. 

I took photos in natural and artificial lighting. Colors are amazing: light blue, not quite nave blue, rust red, small flecks of green within the gold. LOVE and so happy I was persistent with my search!
