I love the look of the rug - it truly is stunning.  My only reason for not giving it the final star, are two reasons.  One, it doesn't have the feel of a fine luxurious rug, but then again it was less than $700, and the other reason, is the edging has got a slight banding around the edge - again, it is a $700 rug - and for that reason - it is an absolutely and AhMazing buy!
