The reason for my 3 stars has only to do with inconsistency of these rugs. This is the 3rd rug I’ve purchased and none of them have been the same. The outer skirt is a lot more brown than the one I purchased back in the summer. Also, the 2nd one I purchased was a lot lighter . I love these rugs, but I am returning the one I just purchased because it’s far too brown. I prefer the lighter outter area.
