I was very hesitant to buy an area rug online since the image was so small and the colors were not certain. But I did and am so pleased! The colors are much more vivid and beautiful. I did opt for a larger size than I had thought necessary and I would advise that for others. I would give 5 stars if the rug didnt shed so much it leaves fuzz balls you just have to vacuum it every couple of weeks. Still an awesome rug! UPDATE Glad to report that the fuzz has long disappeared! Seems that it was only for a few weeks just after it arrived and now has ceased. It has proved to be a beautiful, quality rug and we just love it! Highly recommend it. I am updating my rating to 5 stars! http://garyadair.com/324879
