My rug is beautiful-and it looks exactly the same as the picture, which was a happy surprise. This was my very 1st purchase. The rug was on sale, there was no shipping charge, it was delivered within 4 days, & I love it in my family room...What's even better, I can order matching runners, different sizes, & another rug exactly the same when my budget allows. That's something I couldn't get at the big box, or my local Job Lot.& I want 2 rugs exactly the same in that room. This was a pleasant shopping experience, & the rug looks perfect!
