I received my rug fast and was kept in the loop on shipping. Yay! I think the colors are a very pretty mix of blue, copper, tan, brown, golds...just up my alley! I wanted/needed an 8x10, but that was in between the 2 size options. I opted for the larger one. It fills my space beautifully. I've not vacuumed it--but will not be using the beater.
