Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I agree with the high rated reviews. This rug is a steal! I was concerned about seeing different customer photos that appeared to show a dark and a light version of the ivory rug. I had a few questions about that and the seller immediately answered on a Saturday, on a holiday weekend. I was looking for the softer more faded look shown in some of the review photos but some other review photos looked darker. The seller sounded honest and seemed to just want me to be happy with the purchase. Feeling reassured, I ordered the ivory on Memorial Day Weekend and here I am, the following weekend enjoying this beauty. If you are on the fence about seeing lighter and darker photos, no need to worry. It's both. It depends on which way you place it. Looking at it from one side it has a little more distressed softer look and looking from the other side there is a bit more pop or contrast. I had thought I only wanted the distressed look but honestly, the sharper contrast looks stunning as well. Now I feel like if I ever want a little more detail, all I have to do is turn the rug 180 degrees and I'll have it. It's the best of both worlds. The packing was done very well too, securely covered in poly with extra coverage on the ends. Just so you know, it's not extremely thick at around 3/8" (just guessing). I'd say it's similar to some of the thinner ones you'd see in Home Goods or TJ's for around $300-400 for the 8 x 10" size. I know this because I've been looking for around a year in South FL. It's not as thick as the hand carved wool rugs but I wasn't expecting that for the price. In fact, it's not as thin as I was worrying it might be. Where else could you get an on-trend 9 x 12.5-foot rug for a little over $200? (including shipping) I thought I'd have to settle for a rug that would look like a little postage stamp in my large room and even if I settled for that smaller size, I'd have to pay more than for I did for this. Thanks to Persian Rugs, I don't have to. This fills the room nicely and pulls my leather teal sofa and cream oversized recliners very nicely. It also would work well with Powder blue or Wedgewood blue too. The beige is on the cooler side like a greige. I'm happy it's not yellow/tan. I hope this helps with your decision. I know that sometimes reviews are fake so I wanted to add that this review was not solicited. I depend on honest reviews to help me decide so I wanted to add one. I didn't get any special pricing or considerations. I am writing this because I am truly blown away by the deal I got. Thank you Persian-Rugs!
