I have several of these same area rugs in my small apartment. I have lived here for 16 years and they told me they will not replace the carpet. Of course you can clean a light colored carpet just so many times. The solution was to get two 7'6" squares and a smaller one of these to place in the entry/kitchen area. Not only are they beautiful, they covered up all the "bad" places on the wall to wall carpeting. Great fix for my problem. One thing I do wish to point out is that the smaller area rug is a shade darker than the larger ones, not sure why, but if you're trying to match the same, keep in mind. There is also some rippling that I'm hoping in time will flatten out. Very nice rug though. I also have one on my patio, so that's four in all, you can tell I like them!
