I am also looking to buy this rug...a big one...8X10 or bigger. For you above that has it, is the green in it a sagey green. I just painted the room I want it in a deep sage and I also wonder what the red is like. Is it soft, nice to walk on...do you use a pad? Does it vacuum easily? Any other advise to make me spend the money to buy this rug. Thank you Jenny

I ran across a CL ad with that rug, it's called Venzia. Dont know if you still need to know or not, but I recalled someone here asking the name of a pottery barn rug.

Tuesday, While I was out today, I stopped at Pottery Barn to take a look at your rug. It was pretty but there was no black in it, at all. Just the brown that you saw. Sorry.

Yes I have done that, and it seems everything in showrooms looks just like you've described the one from Pottery Barn, very beat up and not holding up well at all. I do have a coworker that ordered hers from PB, and has had it for 5 years, she is happy with it. But when researching reviews, I've read some awful stuff about their customer service lately, and experienced it myself with a recent small purchase with them. I'm not willing to make such a large purchase and risk having issues with their customer service. I believe another GW member recently posted on decorating about it too. The manufacturer I ordered from has many very good reviews online. It was not cheap and actually cost more than the vanity from PB without the counter. It is solid wood construction with no MDF. I will inspect it when it arrives and report back. We just had some custom cabinetry made in our bedroom, and the carpenter we worked with did a decent job but he was such a pain in the neck to work with. It also took him months to complete our small job because he had so many ongoing projects with other clients. I was hesitant to go that route again for a vanity.
