It is a wonderful rug.  Put it in my kitchen and looks great with ceramic tiles (same shades/coloring).  Very comfy to walk on. Upon receiving it, we unrolled rug to find at the one end two loops were either woven or glued together - so rug wouldn't unroll all the way.  We finally decided to cut it apart.  Then we did some minor repair work.  It looks great.  You'd never know.
