This rug is stunning in person.  After reading multiple reviews I decided to purchase it.  I am so glad I did.  It is very heavy and thick.  You will definitely need two people to unroll and set up.  We purchased it for the living room and it goes part way under the couch, so that could not be done without help.  Note...this is the second.  After only 2 weeks of having it, my daughter spilled spaghetti on it!  ugh... not being used to such a high quality rug, she used a regular spot cleaner on it...big mistake... it turned the stain purple!  It is made of wool so have it cleaned professionally.
