I am in love with this rug!  I have had 5 other rugs in this area - some as much as 3,000 and none look as good as this under 300 rug!  It’s beyond perfect!  I have 2 dogs and a cat and they can’t destroy it.  Even if they did I could afford a new one at these prices.  I ordered a rug pad but found I did not need it.  Color is exactly as shown.  Would go well with gray, browns, rust colors.
