I gave it two stars because it is soft and seems well made BUT and it is a BIG BUT. The rug I received looks nothing like the sample photo or any of the photos in the reviews. There is a distinct overall pattern on my rug, printed in blue. It is not faded or vintage looking it is a PRINTED PATTERN. It is UGLY, I hate it. One more thng, just incase you are still thinking about ordering this rug. It appears to be a 'directional rug, meaning thst from one angle you can see the ugly pattern but from another it just looks white. The light bounces off the rug and ou can't really see any color or pattern.... this may actually be a plus since it's pretty ugly. I thought long and hard before ordering this rug, read reviews here and on other websites. NOT ONE picture looks like my rug, this is extremely disappointing and now I am left with a big return shipping charge......
