I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this rug, never knowing if what you see on line is what it will quite look like. But when I rolled it out, it was beautiful! The detail is even better than I thought it would be. I have dark hard wood floors, and the colors simply pop on it from the contrast. It's not as thick as I was hiping, but a simple pad will fix that under it. As it is, the kids still enjoying laying on the floor and think its just thick enough. Wonderful price for something so ornate!
