This rug is beautiful. I almost wish I bought the largest version for our living instead of the 5 × 7 for the foyer. The reason it is not what I expected is it is quite thin, much thinner than expected and the color is much lighter than the picture. Significantly lighter. I knew it wouldn't be exact bc when you photograph most rugs they appear darker in the pix. This one is so much lighter I'm surprised they don't adjust the pix a bit. It really is disappointing when you get so excited for a product and are instantly deflated bc it wasn't advertised properly. Considering keeping. Want to wake up and look at it with a clear mind. I will write another review once I decide to keep or return. (Which I'm sure is going to be a pain)
