Didn't care for this rug at all. Except for the feel of it. it's very nice under the feet!! The color is nothing like the picture!! The picture looks like a rich gold, burgundy, and black, but the rug is actually a very light tan color with blue and burgundy in it. Not what I was looking for. But, if you like the light colors, it's a nice rug to have.I ordered the 12' x 2' runner. To me it looks nothing like this picture. The picture does not show the cheap looking fringe and the picture also makes it look like deep rich colors which in reality is very light & shiny. Very disappointed but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of returning it...may just use it in the garage.This 2'x8' runner is the same uxorious quality viscous silk of my two 5'x8' Persian Red rugs I purchased from AS Rugs. The colors and pattern are vibrant. It's a pleasure to walk on barefoot. Just be aware that the image of this runner shows only one "medallion," in the middle--with the 2'x8'runner, there will be 3 medallions. This lighter weight does require a carpet pad.Great Product, looks greatAbsolutely Beautiful!!! I am extremely happy I made this purchase! The colors are very pretty. It is a very durable (well-made) carpet, yet very smooth and silky looking, feeling. I really got more than I was expecting out of this.The rug is thinner than I expected. But it is very soft and has vibrant colors! I also really like the fringe. For the price, its a great way to liven up a long hallway.It was way thinner then a rug should be. It won't last long.Perfect!
