This was my first time buying a rug online, and I am pleased with the experience. The rug arrived on the fifth day after purchase, so I did not have to spend too much time worrying wheather it would match the description and the pictures online, wheather I would like it. Well, the rug is totally what I expected! I must thank all the reviewers who helped me make up my mind. The color of the rug is listed as burgundy yet I found some comments describing it as more brown than burgundy. And this is exactly what I wanted! Not a bright red but brownish, dark , deap burgundy. I am very pleased with my purchase. The rug looks gorgeous. The burgundy color does look almost brown in some light at some angles. Yet it is clearly burgundy in other light. Basically, it is a very rich, non-flat, vibrant color that does make you want to look at it. My rather small and plain beige living room now looks larger and "has a punch", thanks to this big beautiful rug. It is pretty thin, I must say, which is especially noticeable on a hard non-carpeted floor, yet it didn't come as a surprise. I expected it and I am fine with it. In fact, having 2 kids in potty training and a young dog, I believe this thin rug is exactly what I need. It will be easier to clean and dry after occasional accidents that will happen. I would definitely recommend a pad though for the households with no accidents. As to the rug slipping on my hard floors, I solved this problem by putting it under the legs of 2 couches and placing a heavy wooden coffee table on top of it. Now it won't slip unless you remove the furniture from it. Well, I am very excited about my new rug, its color, pattern and size.
One thing though I have to mention that frustrated me in the buying process. I had a coupon from USPS after changing my address with them and up untill checkout I was looking forward to applying the coupon to my total price. You know how nice it feels to find a decent price and then shave off a little bit more of it with a coupon. Great Offer Stock wouldn't let me use the coupon, even though I see on the site "coupon activated" message, claiming that the discount they already gave me is bigger than my coupon would have given me and therefore I cannot use it. This doesn't seem right. My coupon was the primary reason I went to Great Offer Stock.com. If I knew this would happen, I would not have done that. There are plenty of rugs out there. Unfortunately, I sort of had fallen in love with this particular one by the time I learned that Great Offer Stock would not honor my coupon. Clever marketing on their part but I feel a bit robbed. Thank you Great Offer Stock for a beautiful product! And shame on you Great Offer Stock for not honoring your coupon.
All in all, great rug at a decent price. I would definitely recommend it.
