I can't believe that I got this rug for this price and free shipping. It is very thick, no shedding that I can tell (so far, it's very new yet), and has deep, rich colors. I don't think it looked the same as the picture in the original photo (looks like the picture attached to this review is a bit closer), which had a more greenish-gold tint to things. This red is very "true" red, and the highlights are beige with hints of green. Very pleased with the purchase. In terms of shipping, the rug actually came too soon--the estimated date on the order form was what I was hoping for, but it came a full week earlier. O-stock can't specify a date, so just bear in mind when you order something to be prepared in case it shows up early! I was able to work with Fed-Ex and catch it before it arrived so it didn't come until I would be home. But a great rug and free shipping and low price, can't be beat! Great Offer Stock will be my first stop for other large purchases for my home from now on.
