I absolutely love this rug!  It looks like an expensive rug and it is so soft.  The colors are muted and beautiful.  I had guests this weekend that only buy designer furniture and rugs.  They loved it so much, that they are purchasing one.  I would purchase another one, but it would be in the same room, so I am looking for one to compliment it.  I also purchased the rug pad, which makes it even more lush.  The great thing is that I have dogs and an elegant NY apt, so I am not worried about stains as it should be easy to clean.  My dogs are great, but people sometimes are not!
