This is a beautiful rug. I wish it were a little bigger - it is 8' round but I probably could have used a 9' or 10' round in the space I have it. Certainly not a mark against it.The design is very classy, the rug looks well-made and feels very nice under the foot even without a pad. It's thin enough to be low-profile but not so thin that it seems cheap at all. I have this in a very formal room under an expensive formal desk and you wouldn't stop to think for a second it was of any lesser quality than a traditional hand-made rug. I like the fact that it's made in Italy and not in China like everything else seems to be.I can almost guarantee that you will not be disappointed if you like the look of this rug online. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the Navy is so dark it's almost a blue-black. Definitely a shade or two darker than it looks in the picture. Still goes very nicely in the room. Just be aware that if you're looking for a rich navy blue (which I was going for), this Navy is going to be more muted.Anyway, get the rug. You can easily spend ten times as much on a rug at one of those bogus "70% off" sales at a furniture store and come away with much less. No regrets here at all.
