This is a beautiful rug and the colors are vibrant.  It looks great on our sun porch!   It's true that the shorter edges are finished in a different manner than the long edges, but they're tight and not unattractive.  For the price, this is a great rug!   It was originally sent to my old address in a different state, and the customer service was extremely helpful.  Another rug was sent out immediately while waiting for the first delivery to be returned to the sender.
