Very disappointed. The rug measures just over 7.5 feet. This can only be determined once all packaging is laboriously removed. As I live in Brooklyn I can not imagine paying for shipping to return this, nor can I believe I’d have to carry this to a return drop off location. Additionally once unrolled- there are defects in the weave that have linear areas where threading was compromised. So much work moving the furniture out of the room to find this largely smaller in size than it is presented and sold as. False advertising.

This item was on sale, so maybe that's related to this issue -- maybe it sat around a warehouse too long before it got sold. . The rug itself is beautiful, and is intrinsically of excellent quality. It appears to have been very well made, and since it is 100% wool, I expect it to last a long time. . But apparently the rug was rolled up tight for so long that it won't lay flat. It is full of lumps and wrinkles that run from side to side. In a ten foot long runner, that's an issue, and could actually be a safety problem for some people. Plus the uneven surface mars the beauty of the rug. I hung it up for several days, but that seems to have done nothing to help it flatten out. The next step will be to iron it. I hope that works, because otherwise it is a beautiful rug. I love the color, the texture, and the quality of the craftsmanship.
