This was purchased for my son's 1940's cottage. He says it is "gorgeous". I took one star off because it is shorter than 5 feet and I took one star off because the quality is less than I expected. One of the edges is visibly frayed. I'm also a little disappointed in the color pattern. There are either "charcoal" or black flecks on the gray design of the rug. I was not expecting flecks.  We needed a unique size so I was happy to find it and it is acceptable for the money.
