a very decent mid-quality rug from a proven rug maker.

I ordered 3 from another vendor and they've arrived today.  Still waiting on the one ordered from this site but expect it to be the same quality.

they're to be used over hardwood in my kitchen, i still need to purchase anti-slip pads.  They were slightly curled on the ends but i just put them upside down for a couple hours and it looks like they smoothed out.

the biggest caution i have to advise:  i looked at pictures of this rug from every site possible (googled the style number).  In every picture the black background looks solid but it isnt in real life:  its mostly black, but it has threads of gray and ..purple?.. running through it.  dont know if this is a deal-breaker for me yet, will give it a couple days.  So, if you can see it in person before you buy from here, might save you a return.
