I cannot say enough good things about this rug. Our living room color theme is grey and deep sapphire blue and this rug ties in the colors so seamlessly. It is an unbelievably striking rug, I could not believe how beautiful it was in person. It's soft underfoot and not bulky, while I noticed a lot of people prefer a pad beneath, I'm very pleased with how it works without a pad over our hardwood floors. It's been easy to keep clean, and it rolled out and smoothed out easily, which is impressive for how large the rug is. It added the final flourish in the room and the result is stunning. I looked at literally hundreds of rugs before finding this one and I am so glad that I waited because this rug is absolute perfection!
