Amazing value for dollar, especially in the 9 x 12 size. Nice quality for the amount spent and the black border is attractive and distinctive-looking on my light wood floors. Adds a bit of visual drama to the living room and makes a nice backdrop for some Kilim footstools. You can also layer a flatweave over this as the rug is thin enough to encourage layering. It arrived as a flat rectangle and not as a rolled up piece-I did not expect it to arrive as a rectangle in a plastic bag.  I could easily unpack it and lay it down myself - not heavy at all. Ideal for a 5'5" senior citizen to maneuver into place and swap out with another rug if desired.
