Well I ended up with a different rug because right after I ordered it, my husband said it was too big. So in a panic, I quickly contacted the rug store. I spoke with Joe, who told me not to worry. He emailed me about 5 options slightly smaller but similar in style. I chose one of those and received the rug very quickly. It was packaged perfectly. The rug was pretty but a lot brighter than what I expected. But some of the rugs are antique, and some are not I think. Nonetheless they are all pretty rugs. I highly recommend them.
