I bought this rug for my granddaughter's dorm room.  The rug is beautiful.  It looks very much like a hand knotted silk rug.  Amazing how beautiful a machine made rug can be.  When I have need to buy a new accent rug for my own home I will buy something from this manufacturer.  What a beautiful rug for a great price.  thank you so much for carrying this product and emailing the special sale info.
