This area rug is even more beautiful in person, and the quality is amazing. It has a really nice burn out effect when colors transition from blue to gray which gives it a cool 3-D like look. I ordered it on on a Tuesday and wasn't expecting it until Thursday, but was pleasantly surprised to receive it the following day, without upgrading shipping option. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase as a first time customer and will be shopping this site more often.
