Rug came in record time and well packaged. I was putting this in an entryway and wanted something that would stand up to traffic and weather.  The rug is thick. It was a little bristled but not so much you can't walk on it barefoot.  I'm getting use to it now!  I took off a star because the coloring was darker than I expected.  The photos make it look like the colors are bright & vibrant but to me it looks like a lots of dark colored pieces were put together.  It's still very beautiful!  Sorry about the plastic tape on the carpet picture, the cats are in training not to scratch on it.
