For this price I would never have kept it if I thought it deserves less than five stars. Hint: I'm keeping it. Fabulous rug. I bought it because of the beautiful pattern and especially the shape I needed (square, 8'x8', which is hard to find). The surprise was the quality and softness. I keep taking my shoes off so I can walk on it. I've never had anything like it before. If you can afford it, go for it.
