The area rug is nice, but the contrast between the rug and the binding was much more dramatic than the picture posted on line. My rug seemed lighter and the binding was very dark in contrast. I preferred the rug pictured on line, but it’s too much trouble to re-roll, wrap and package a rug to ship back, so we are keeping it! I’m a little nervous about it showing wear sooner than expected. All that being said, the rug appears well made and of good quality.
