This might be the most beautiful rug that I have ever purchased. The colors are subtle but so beautiful. It has a very feminine air to it. I paired it with lots of velvet and faux furs in a guest room. It looks and feels really luxurious. The different pile heights make it look more expensive. The material is silky soft. I wish it was a little bit thicker but overall it is absolutely gorgeous. I plan to take great care of it so that I can use it for a nursery next.
