worth the wait!!!! This rug is great quality and absolutely beautiful! I would say that it is not quite as dark as in the picture but the background is still black which is what I really wanted so it still worked. It’s in my master bedroom and is softplush without a pad underneath! (ignore my messy room( sadly I don’t have a photo of everything clean and put together! It’s my favorite place in my house and this rug completes it!)
