This 8 x 11 rug arrived quickly and very well packed.
When I unrolled it I noticed some of the stitching (threads) coming out in a few areas. Nothing extreme but in several spots. I have also had to trim some of these threads. As I said, none are very noticeable... but I have order several rugs from Great Offer Stock in the past and this is the first time I've had this happen.
This rug is beautiful. I'd say the main color is a deep salmon (not red) or coral color. It also has deep blue, pale blue, gray, chocolate, light tan dark tan, beige...multi colors that all look beautiful together. It is exactly the color I wanted and it goes well with my decor.
As other ppl have noted, this rug is very thick and soft under foot. It DOES shed and each time I vacuum it fills the canister. I'm hoping this will subside soon.
I have ordered a pad to go under this rug (not that it needs it) because it is in a high traffic area of the house and I'm hoping it will make it last longer.
I'm only giving it a 4 star because of the loose threads and the sheding...but it is a beautiful rug...just a little more maintenance than I wanted.
If you plan to put this rug in an area just for looks or not much traffic then I'm sure there would be little to no need to vacuum.
It IS a beautiful rug and it looks expensive.
I have expensive oriental rugs and this one rivals them...with the exception of sheding as much. All wool rugs shed...some more than others.
