Beautiful Safavieh rug--colors are a bit different
The rug is absolutely beautiful, soft, plush, etc. I haven't lived with it very long, but it appears to be high quality. I was a bit alarmed when it arrived both rolled up AND folded in half, but the wrinkles fell out with no trouble at all. Even after reading reviews on this and other sites, and also looking at the photo on many different devices, I was surprised to see it was quite a bit darker/more muted than I had expected. Still, it is beautiful, and I think I will be able to make it work with my light-green chairs through judicious use of throw pillows to tie everything together. My husband wanted a traditional Oriental style rug and I wanted something more contemporary. This was a great compromise because it feels like a very fresh and modern take on the classic Oriental rug. Also, the item description leaves the brand name a mystery, but this rug has a Safavieh label, so if you see what you think may be the same rug for a higher price on another site (as I did), have no fear -- it is indeed the same rug. :-)
