I looked at a lot of rugs before making this pirchase and I am very pleased.  Received the rug in approximately 5 days and it was well packaged. Took 2 days to lay flat. The likeness to the photo online is very close (slightly muted ) and the size is exact. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the repeat pattern of the flowers seems to slightly off and perhaps this is due to size?  I purchased the 7.9 x 9.9.  The rug will be placed in our dining room under the table and that slight imperfection will not be noticed.
