I want to start off the review by saying the shipping was insanely fast. The way it was shipped was not as good. It was wrapped in a thin plastic sheet and two pieces of tape to hold the rug together and there was holes in the packing where the rug was hanging out. But it held up in transport without completely busting open which is good.
The rug is pretty heavy and super beautiful. I would say the one in the photo is significantly darker looking but this rug is still absolutely stunning. It is more of a rich caramel warm brown color with a subtle blackish brown striping throughout the whole thing. The pile is beautiful and the rug itself is so beautiful. I'm actually glad it wasn't as dark and is what it is because it is beautiful. I can't wait to buy more!
