Love, love, love this rug!  Thick and cozy like a hand knitted sweater.  Shout out to salesperson, Lindsey, for giving me a Birch Lane discount as shown in my flyer even though I had already purchased from Joss and Main.  It was not spelled out in flyer, and Lindsey gave me the benefit of the doubt.  Love that kind of service!  I initially placed a rug pad under the rug, but soon realized it made it too thick and a tripping hazard.  Removed the pad, and it is perfect now.  The color has a bit more brown tones than shown, but a very grounding color for my off white furniture, and less likely to show stains.  Could not be more pleased.
