I waited til after having rug for a while before providing a review. All in all I am very pleased. It looks just as pictured.....very rich in color! I especially like the varying types of weave used to create different patterns and textures all of which are soft to the touch. While the rug does have volume, the only negative is that it's not as dense as I would have liked. The picture gives that impression. I will probably purchase an underlayment though not a requirement.
