The rug is very thin - much thinner than I anticipated it being.  My husband used to sell grand Persian style rugs for a living and he laughed when he saw it.  He even asked me if I bought an outdoor/indoor rug!  I placed it under the table, so I didn't really want a super thick rug anyhow.  However, I wasn't expecting it to be so thin either.  The color is also off from what is portrayed in the picture.  The rug is much much darker in person.  I ended up having to repaint a clock and some other items in the room to match the rug so it wouldn't stand out so much.
