Just purchased my 10 x 14 rug from warfair. The delivery service was excellent.....now for the carpet... the colors and the way they blend create a tapestry of harmonious colors the rug itself almost fells like a cashmere meaning eligently soft. The carpet seems to shimmer the weave itself is extremely tight and the carpet is denece. I am not sure as I can't remember the weight of this carpet was but as a former weight lifter its a very heavy carpet. Its a good 1/2 inch thick. I would imagine that under the description it says to avoid vacuums with brushes i would never use brushes with a vacuum on this carpet as I would not want to ruin the pattern. This carpet is replacing a courtaistan carpet which in itself is a very good carpet, but this carpet seems to be of a superior quality. This is a carpet with a great deal of sublime beauty i am extremely pleased with my purchase. Mike and Linda
