While this rug is perfectly fine for the right environment design, color story of the room, etc., it wasn't right for mine. Sometimes, especially online purchases, one has to buy it to see how or if it works, then return it if it doesn't. The price reflects that the thickness and overall color palette aren't, say, that of the more expensive and richness of the Handmade Persian Legend Blue/Gold New Zealand Wool Rug. But, for the money and if the color story works for your space, this would be a good buy, great value.
