This rug is just gorgeous. The colors are vibrant and the pattern is eye-catching. The colors in order of dominance are beige, taupey brown and green are tied for second, rust/burgundy and outlines of yellowy gold and ivory. The pile is a medium thickness and feels lush underfoot. The rug itself is very soft and vaccuums well. I have already had a spill on the rug and it cleaned up nicely. No weird odor like I've had with other rugs. The wool fibers look very fine and delicate and it gives the rug a very expensive look and feel. We are very happy with our purchase!

First, I'd like to clarify that I don't know much about nicer quality rugs but always wanted one. My previous purchases had always been at an outlet or my local home improvement store. The rug was rolled and packaged in a waterproof type material on the outside, with a heavy plastic covering on the inside. Very well-protected from dirt and moisture. One thing I researched about quality rugs said to look for the pattern to show up on the back side of the rug. This shows the rug is woven and the fibers are not glued down. The pattern shows up perfectly on the underside of this rug. The colors are lovely and the feel of the fibers under your feet is so soft which you would expect with a wool/silk blend. Very tightly woven, too. My husband commented on how you couldn't hardly get your fingers through the nap. We vacuumed the rug front and back to get up any dust and loose fibers before taking it inside. We still have a bit of curl on one end from where it was rolled up for shipping, but other than that it's just perfect. This is a very nice quality rug.
