It is actually a 5 star rating for me personally but I dropped it to 4 because it is thin.  This works for me though because we needed a rug that would be easy to roll our grand piano across without stressing the wheels on the legs.  Three men and taping down the seams accomplished the move.  I actually bought two different sizes as shown in the picture.  The smaller (5'3"x7'6") print is relative to its size compared to the larger (7'10"x10'10") but they looked fantastic side by side.  Others have commented that the black looks brown but I only noticed it a bit when first unrolled and the nap is laying a certain way.  Once vacuumed and positioned on the floor it is definitely black.  I love the pattern and the colors which are deep and elegant for the price range of the carpets.  I'm very happy and hope that they wear well until it's time to replace them again.
