i nearly purchased a different rug because i was discouraged by the customer reviews, which weren't poor, but they weren't great either. I scanned quite a few of the low-rating reviews and i noticed that in each case the reason for the poor review was that the color of the rug did not match the image rendered on their device screens. In fact, many of these reviews included quite favorable comments on the rug itself.in my case, the color of the rug delivered was matched the color of the image, so no problem there. This rug is not cheap, but for the category (material type and pattern) it is a good value. Once in our flat, the rug is beautiful, the construction is good and the quality of materials is very high.
