Love this item!
I got this sweater in white and black -- and it goes with everything! I love the quality and the lack of buttons. This is dressier than your average cardigan.

Love This Must-Have Cardigan!
I love this cardigan! It should be a must-have item in every wardrobe. The detailing on it makes it a step up from the "basic black" cardigan, and the button free front makes it lay effortlessly over almost any top. I found that the shoulder seams were a bit wide, so I ordered down a size and that worked well.
October 16, 2013
nice cardigan
I wear this sweater a lot because it goes with everything casual or dressy. It has just the right sleeve/shoulder coverage, but it's very lightweight for wearing in warm weather. It's a great addition to my wardrobe for summer.
October 13, 2013
Cute and Simple
This is a nice, goes-with-everything cardigan. I really like the open design - sometimes the button-down ones don't look the best on me but they don't look good leaving the entire row of buttons undone, so this is perfect. It is a little plain so be prepared to dress it up with some accessories or a fun top underneath!
October 7, 2013
Wish it came in more colors
I really love this sweater. It was perfect for summer. If you are between sizes, go with the smaller size. It's not a light or heavy sweater, just perfect. It also goes with everything. Hopefully TL will bring this back next summer in more colors.
September 27, 2013
Love this.
Cardigan is very light weight and of good quality. Washes up nice in cold water and hang to dry. Bought it in black and white. Perfect for all seasons.

App Giveaway: System Monitor with Battery Max
Yep this would come in very handy in deed. I'm charging overnight then by the time I get home from work she is running on fumes and I charge it again. On the odd occasion I have not made it home and had to charge in the car, but I do spend a fair amount of time either on the phone or messaging / emailing folks.
Nice app.
I keep my phone charging the whole day, in the office, at home and in the car. I am only on battery when I'm not at one of those places.
Twice a day. Depending on how busy I am and home many emails I get and how many audiobooks and podcast I listen to.
How many? Geeez...so many I can't count because I'm always connecting it wherever I'm at. Have a charger in my house, my car, and my own at girlfriends house. If theirs a number...at least 8 times... No joke I know. :(
How many times do I charge my iPhone 4S a day? Put it this way. When I am in a car, I have charger and I plug my phone in. When I am at work and at my desk, I have a charger and have my phone plugged in. And when I get home at night, I am immediately looking for a charger to plug my phone in. Then I take it upstairs at night and plug it in and sync it to my computer.
Just got my iPhone 4s and I usually charge once a day, twice at most. Would love to try this app to find out more about maximizing performance!
Iphone 4s with 5.0.1. At least three times a day. Battery performance is horrible. I could really use this!
Once when I leave in the morning, and once when I return from school. It isn't too inconvenient but I would love to get even just an extra hour boost from saving energy..
This app claims it "boosts battery performance" but the only thing it really does is allow you to "Double tap battery or open it to see the battery capacity for your favorite apps". This isn't boosting anything. I'm disappointed that this app is featured because I feel as though iMore is perpetuating the snake oil that they are selling. What the app CLAIMS and what it actually DOES are different things.
Bonus tip that you can send me $.99 for... you can quit apps, maximizing your free amount of RAM and making your iPhone run like new by quitting apps. Yes, that was tounge in cheek.
LivingFit365 on November 19, 2008 I'm the ognriial owner of a 2003 Sorento. 75k miles so far. It's been off-road, city, highway. I drive 60 miles each day. I never once had to look under the hood. Drives perfectly, runs perfectly, still in great shape. The styling is still modern and people think it is new amazed when I tell them it's an '03! I highly recommend KIA! Much better than a GM, just as good or maybe better than Honda or Toyota, best value for the dollar fully loaded. I highly recommend checking out KIA.

Danks, Dickey try to change trends at Rogers Centre
Lefty struggling on the road; knuckler has had trouble vs. White Sox
Something will have to give Friday night in Toronto when the White Sox and Blue Jays meet up for the second of a four-game series.
Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who has fared worse against Chicago than any other team, will take the mound for Toronto. His counterpart, John Danks, has run into serious problems away from home this season.
Dickey has an 8.22 ERA in eight career outings against the White Sox. In two starts versus Chicago last season, Dickey had polar opposite results. In Chicago, he was rocked to the tune of 10 hits and seven runs over five innings. But at the Rogers Centre, he held the White Sox to only two hits, no runs and struck out seven over six frames.
Dickey has struggled to keep the ball in the yard at times this season. He has given up at least one homer in each of his past seven starts.
"I think all but one of my earned runs over the last four or five outings have come via the home run," Dickey said after his last start in Cincinnati. "That's tough sometimes to overcome."
While Dickey will be facing White Sox rookie slugger Jose Abreu for the first time, two other Chicago players -- Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko -- have each shown they can go yard off Dickey. Both players have a pair of homers in a combined 26 at-bats against the right-hander.
Meanwhile, Danks' ERA away from U.S. Cellular Field is 6.31, compared to just 2.77 at home. His road woes match those of the White Sox, who have lost 10 of their last 11 away from Chicago.
Danks was particularly hard on himself following his last outing, in which he gave up six runs in five innings in a loss at Minnesota.
"You can't blame anyone but me on this one," Danks said after that start. "These guys did plenty to win a ballgame. I guess I got in the way of that."
Of all the opposing ballparks to give Danks problems in his career, Rogers Centre has been one of the most unforgiving. He has a 7.61 ERA in five career starts in Toronto.
White Sox: Eaton leaves Thursday's game with leg cramps
White Sox leadoff man Adam Eaton left the series opener Thursday night with left leg cramps.
Eaton had been riding a 12-game hitting streak and a 20-game on-base streak, but both of those came to an end when he exited in the first inning after hitting a chopper to second base.
Eaton appeared to wince while running down the line, and he was replaced in center field in the bottom half of the inning by Leury Garcia.
"It didn't look good, it didn't feel good," Eaton said. "We'll be kind of day to day, I guess right now. I feel better after some of the treatment I've been doing. We'll continue to work on it."
Eaton is batting .284 with 22 RBIs this season. He went on the 15-day disabled list in May for a strained right hamstring.
Blue Jays: Tolleson visits cornea specialist
After experiencing some blurred vision recently, Steve Tolleson met with a cornea specialist Thursday morning and was prescribed a new pair of glasses.
Tolleson underwent Lasik surgery in 2009 and had been experiencing perfect vision since. But in the past few weeks, some issues popped up, and they were made worse when he attempted to wear contact lenses.
"[The doctor] said he'd only seen this one or two other times and they were both with previous Lasik patients," Tolleson said. "It seems that people after they have Lasik just can't wear contacts.
"So it was a very small vision correction anyway, even debatable whether I would wear glasses or not with it. It's just the contacts that I wore for those three days just irritated it and caused a reaction and that's what happened yesterday."
Tolleson was held out of the starting lineup Thursday, but did play the final three innings at third base. He went 0-for-1 at the plate.
Worth noting
• Toronto shortstop Jose Reyes had his first four-hit game of the season Thursday night, going 4-for-5 with a triple, one RBI and two runs scored. He has had back-to-back three-hit games for the first time since July 25-26, 2013.
• Eaton's streak of reaching safely in 20 consecutive games was the longest by a White Sox player since Juan Pierre reached in 29 straight games in 2010.

Back at the Hall of Slack. Their 'setup` still uses the old ncurses package to provide stable installations one after another.
Fedora is for testing. RedHat had no interest in the desktop.
Remember: logout by default is not shown if there's a single user and only the Gnome shell session is available.
That covers the remarks I have read about Gnome developers not considering other desktops, and the remaining use cases seem to just fall in the remote access / headless background process category.
Now I very much hope that the same person who set up NFS or Samba or VNC server, who configured X for remote access or really needed to move users from group to group for some further reason won't have much trouble setting once and for all a gsetting by ticking a checkbox in a GUI or adding a one-liner to a setup script.
Really, that's what this silly fuss is about: a default that makes sense for the less techincal user and that whoever needs differently can override in about 30 seconds. The computer version of "first world problems", I'd say
Back at the Hall of Slack. Their 'setup` still uses the old ncurses package to provide stable installations one after another.
Fedora is for testing. RedHat had no interest in the desktop.
Hmm, good points indeed. The multiple processes issue is also in YaST, and can get quite annoying (as is its inability to asynchronously download and install packages).
That raises another question, though - why did the UI have to change? Why not leave it as it was before, just on a new codebase?
Some guys are spoiled. Some guys always write perfect code. Some guys were born as perfect coders and programmers.
Fedora 18 applications are just fine. UEFI delayed Fedora development to where delivery was late. Is the installer a bad design. I definitely say no. The concept is very good. Do the updates according to your preferences, -- keyboard, language, and so forth.
Is it a beta implementation -- a first effort to make it work, I say yes. It needs some extra quality control.
My fault with Gnome is that has the design that is trying to please desktop users and tablet users. And it does neither very well. So, if the argument about Fedora 18 is negative, you must blame the DE. (Presentation design).
I use Gnome rarely with Fedora 18. Cinnamon is a fantastic DE for Fedora 18. Cinnamon replaced Nautalus, uses the Gnome GUI libraries and is superb. It makes Fedora 18 much better than Ubuntu. If Gnome continues with one more bad release, you can rest assured that it will not be number one for Fedora 20.
One nice undocumented feature of Fedora18, is the ability to log into the system in GUI mode as root. Moving files, deleting files, copying files, renaming files, in fact directory and file manipulation with a GUI interface is so much faster and safer than with command line.
Fedora18 recognizes that system maintainers are not dumbells, who have to be prevented from using a graphical user interface from a root logon.
Cinnamon and Fedora 18, a great combination.
I guess you wonder why it is great. Ans. Because it reduces errors as long as user does not concurrently use the web. Root passwords are confidential.
imagine in command mode doing a rm *~ and the user sneezes or his hand shakes and it ends up with rm * ~
Its very hard to do big damage with GUI, and it is much easier to avoid mistakes.
Naturally, the regular user can be added to group root, which is not really blockable via pam.
In conclusion, you don't give a five year old the keys to the car and tell him to drive. By the same token, you control who has root access in GUI mode.
Sudo is another open door. Every distribution I have used allows sudo su
Leslie, please don't recommend people log in graphically as root. It is highly insecure and not to be advised in any case for any reason. Fedora is not designed to encourage this.
So a couple of reasons...
1. the oldUI code was not cleanly separated from the backend, they were pretty much tied together.
2. the old UI kinda sucked. I mean, it wasn't good. Re-doing it has been on the table for a while. Just because the new UI has some teething problems doesn't mean the old one exactly cured cancer - tell me http://media.if-not-true-then-false....ation-type.png is a great screen, for instance (lots of people got *used* to it, but take a step back and tell me it's an awesome screen). Or the screen you got when you clicked on 'Change device' on http://media.if-not-true-then-false....oot-loader.png (sadly not pictured in that walkthrough), that was awesome. Or my favourite giant ball of win, and pretty much where Mo started seriously looking at the installer design: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/...enshot_f14.png .
If you read through the archives of Mo's blog at http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/category/fedora/anaconda/ , which I really highly recommend doing, you can see where a lot of the newUI design came from, and a lot of the problems Mo identified in the old design. It's not just redesign for redesign's sake. The post on creating a RAID /home is particularly interesting when it comes to the new partitioning approach - http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2011/12/14...g-ui-thus-far/ .

Design and Modeling of a Micro-active Suspension
T. Verdot and M. Collet,FEMTO-ST Institute, Dept of Applied Mechanics
Nowadays, lightweight materials are widely used to reduce weight and increase available space in moving structures such as cars or aircraft. However, they constitute an intense vibrating environment that can strongly affect the operation of embedded micro-transducers such as frequency generators or inertial sensors.
To alleviate this problem, we propose the concept of a Micro-Active Suspension (MAS). A MAS consists of a small suspension inserted between a sensitive component and its circuit board, into which sensors and actuators are integrated.
In this paper, we will present the COMSOL Multiphysics model of our MEMS device, taking into account the mechanical dynamics of the substrate and the electromechanical coupling in the piezoelectric layer.

"They were running hard tonight. Our line did a good job. I'm really proud of our kids and glad they pulled it out."Josh Brown rushed 21 times for 153 yards while Ben Bunkers tallied 105 yards on 16 carries and two touchdowns to lead DRSM. Defensively, Jacob Glazier and Jared Scholten each made seven tackles while Bunkers picked off two Langford Area passes.Christian Schnieders capped the Cardinals' opening drive, rushing in from five yards to open the scoring.On their next possession, the Cardinals' Wes Heinricy found Josh Scholten on a 14-yard TD pass to push Dell Rapids St. Mary's advantage to 14-0 with 1:35 remaining in the first quarter.After stopping the Lions on a fourth down, Glazier rushed in from 26 yards out just three plays later that combined with another two-point conversion from Brown to make it 22-0 with 10:36 remaining in the first half.Bunkers later added a 19-yard TD run while Schnieders ran in from a yard out to give Dell Rapids St. Mary a 34-0 edge with 3:33 left in the half.

"Our goal was to get back to the playoffs and maybe take a shot in the playoffs but it just didn't work out for us tonight. We're pretty happy with our season."Bunkers said it helped playing at the friendly confines of Rickeman Field, where his team has gone 5-0 this season."When we play at home, the crowd really gets in the game," Bunkers said.

Opponents file to limit hospital bonds
Linda SatchwellStaff Writer
"The gauntlet was thrown down" Nov. 16, according to Plumas District Hospital's Chief Executive Officer Richard Hathaway.
That day, Skip Alexander and attorney Robert Zernich, along with Bob Herr, Dennis Clemens and Martin Brutlag, began the process to have an initiative election that would effectively limit property tax payments for PDH's Measure A bonds to $50 per $100,000 of assessed home value.
Alexander and Zernich felt that would be the best way to stop the hospital from selling the bonds when there is no tax limit.
Zernich admitted that the limited rate probably wouldn't pay for the new hospital building.
Hathaway said the initiative, if successful, would stop the project.
The practical problem with the plan is that upon examination it appears that Proposition 218 does not allow for an initiative of this sort.
According to the paperwork provided by Alexander and Zernich, Proposition 218 provides the legal authority for an initiative to limit the tax rate charged to homeowners for the hospital bonds.
"Proposition 218 allows voters to reduce or repeal any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. Presently there is no limit or ceiling on the highest rate the hospital board of directors can charge as a tax rate. Therefore, this initiative reduces and sets the maximum tax rate for the life of the bonds."
There is an essential problem with the Proposition 218-based initiative, however. As explained by the California Legislative Analyst's Office, very few taxes will be affected by the Proposition 218 legislation.
At the top of the list of those "not directly affected" are property taxes. There is a distinction between property taxes and property assessments and fees. The latter two fall under 218, while the former does not. Put simply, the initiative has no legal grounds under Proposition 218.
Alexander and Zernich had to take the initiative paperwork to Hathaway to sign. (In an ironic twist, the district would have to pay for the election that would stop it from building the new building.)
Response to the move was varied. Some parties repeated their previous rhetoric. From others, there were significant shifts. Alexander and Zernich, who feel the Measure A ballot was confusing at best, want to take back the control of the tax dollars they feel they signed away when they voted for Measure A.
Hathaway, who has worked to make this new hospital a reality since he came to Quincy in 2001, believes he understands the requirements for the hospital in terms of structure and function.
When asked his reaction to the initiative filing, he fell back on the seismic requirements argument. Currently, PDH has until 2013 to meet Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development's seismic requirements, or it will be subject to closure.
In fact, Hathaway said that if this initiative passed, "the hospital will close," because it won't be able to meet the seismic standards.
When questioned about the potential extension until 2030 that the hospital has applied for, he called it the stuff of dreams. Information Officer [of] Public Affairs David Byrne said OSHPD had sent a letter Sept. 15 to PDH Facilities Manager Dan Brandes stating it would be giving PDH an answer on the extension in the next several months.
In e-mail correspondence on Nov. 18, Byrne wrote it is likely PDH will have an answer from OSHPD in December 2009.
Further, he wrote that 75 percent of hospitals that have applied for the extension would receive it. "The biggest factor is whether a hospital building is close to a large fault line," which PDH's buildings definitely are not.
When Hathaway was told about the OSHPD conversation, he said he'd been working with the agency for a long time, and he was still skeptical the extension would happen. He said, as well, that even if PDH receives it, there are the hospital's infrastructure problems to consider.
PDH has a 50-year-old building that he and the board members say is falling apart. Further, to retrofit it to OSHPD standards would be more expensive than constructing a new facility he said.
If PDH gets the likely extension, however, it could conceivably retrofit and fix infrastructure problems as they came up. There isn't a time limit imposed by OSHPD for these upgrades prior to 2030.
Hospital board member John Kimmel and board chairman Dr. Mark Satterfield had a different take on things. One good thing that came out of the Alexander-Zernich initiative was that it got their attention, admitted Satterfield.
He and Kimmel are both committed to making certain the voters are with them before they proceed with the sale of the bonds. Satterfield was genuinely surprised there were community members who feared the board would go ahead with the sale no matter what the people wanted.
Kimmel volunteers his time, because he believes in this community. He's hurt that after giving 12 years to the board, people are painting him as a villain. "It's ridiculous that some of these people that I don't even know say we intentionally did it. That's the farthest from the truth."
At this point, a lot of things will have to go right before board members will consider issuing the next set of bonds, Kimmel said. Bond rates will have to come down, and the board is still trying to find places to cut costs.
They've gone back to their bond counselor, who has estimated what the taxpayer's costs would be, factoring in a current, conservative interest rate and a conservative projected growth in assessed value.
In addition, Satterfield has done his own research into Buy America Bonds, which are part of the stimulus package and come with a lower interest rate.
He said the hospital is looking at whether it can put in more cash, and it is also researching the possibility of bond insurance, which brings the rate down the same way that buying points on a mortgage does.
According to Kimmel, "Ethically, we're trying to maintain what we said on the ballot and keep it in that range." He admits, however, that in the current economy the measure's estimated tax high of $87.30 won't be possible. "But, maybe if we can keep it at $125 or $135 ... I'm hopeful that we can have a sense that the public is behind us or not behind us if we can get it in that range."
In addition, he said the plans are finished, but construction hasn't begun, which means that the board has the ability to sit tight for years. "We're in wait mode ... if it isn't feasible, then we never exercise those bonds and maybe we do something else with the money we have left over, or we try to pay back the taxpayers. We have eight years to do it."
He also agreed the language of the ballot understandably confused many people. "The ballot was screwed up; there's no question about it," he said.
Kimmel and Satterfield still feel it's in the community's best interest to build the new hospital building. If it doesn't happen now, Quincy will be facing the same problem in another 10 years.
But Kimmel understands public frustration with both federal and state government. "I think they're saying, we're tired of taxes and this is one place we can control it—so stop."
Kimmel would like to poll the community, rather than have an expensive and divisive election, to get a sense of what the community is willing to pay. "I really do feel, if we have to go beyond the ball park area that we promised, I think we do need to say ethically, are you guys still behind us?"
Kimmel was also pleased to hear of the likely seismic extension to 2030, but he didn't feel seismic requirements were the real reason to build anyway.
Satterfield, who has been on the board for 20 years, agreed. This hospital was built in 1959 with the help of federal Hill-Burton funding, and everyone involved with the building from staff to administration to board members, says the old building needs extensive work.
According to Satterfield and Kimmel, the board has been over plans, ideas and downsizing ad nauseum.
"We've gone through 50 to a 100 different scenarios," said Satterfield. "Most were vastly more expensive ... over the past 12 years, we've massaged this thing to death, made it as small as possible to still meet the basic requirements."
Still, he said, "we have to be responsive to the needs of the community ... we won't charge ahead without the community behind us."
He added there is a "certain critical mass" in rural hospitals, however. "Once they begin to get out of surgery, obstetrics—they'll end in extinction."
This bothered him for several reasons. The more obvious one is a healthy hospital is part of a healthy community, especially in an area that will move, inevitably, from a logging center to one that's based more on retirees.
The other reason is less obvious: good, safe OB care is the "biggest challenge" he said.
This is a vital service to the significant segment of the community that can't afford to go to Reno, Nev., to deliver. Many of these women, he said, don't have a car that will get them there, nor can they afford the gas. He feels providing for them is an important part of PDH's mission.
Satterfield admits the board "lost control of how much we understand where the people are coming from." When asked if he would consider a meeting with proponents of the initiative and an outside facilitator to bridge the divide and come up with an equitable plan that residents would support, he was very enthusiastic.
It's been done here before, he said, citing the Quincy Library Group. A facilitator would be worth paying for, he continued. "I'd pay it out of my own pocket if I had to."
He'd like to see the community that he's worked for and lived in for so long work this out, rather than battle it out.
It bothered him, as it did Kimmel, that bond counselor Gary Hicks used a 7.45 percent estimate to figure the tax rate for this year, adding to that an amount that equaled 20 percent of the $12 million for insurance against default, which was placed into an impound account.
Kimmel termed the 20 percent a reserve, and both men said it didn't need to come this year, and it didn't need to be nearly that high.
According to Kimmel, "To put in that one-time 20 percent reserve in the first shot—that's crazy. And to say we were going to issue $12 million in bonds at 7.6 percent, there's no way, that's suicide ... they're going, 'Great, we can save up this money and we'll be ahead of the game.' Well, they weren't thinking [about] the taxpayers."
What Quincy has now is, most likely, a defunct initiative that would kill the new hospital, and a hospital board that seems, finally, to be hearing the electorate.
One of those board members is calling for a facilitated meeting to work things out in a way that's agreeable to most residents. Another has suggested a poll to take the pulse of the community at this time. They are coming up with ideas to try to resuscitate the hospital and, more importantly, to save Quincy from a destructive battle.

I started this thread hoping to see what folks are doing in their spare time (wasted time?). I have just found "Angry Birds Seasonal", it's been a few hours now. I'm regressing to my early Atari days, although I may get frustrated, I can't get past the fourth level of the Halloween adventure. Luckily, one is only given the ability to go through one level a day in the December sequence, I've already got through day one. I guess I'm going to have to plan my time LOL. I'm also wondering if the battery charging will be totally charged by the time I use up the one I'm playing with. Heh....I needed a break.
Anyone else have some amusing apps/games they'd like to share?------

Love this area rug I was nervous to order this type of item online because of color variations. I'm so glad I took the risk. The color is perfect! I am so thrilled with the pop of color it adds to my room! Quality and value cannot be beat!

Great rug I love this rug! It is of great quality and true to color. The only thing is that it sheds a lot. It has taken quite some time and some vacuuming to get the shedding down. And even now it stil sheds. Overall it is still a great rug.

Beautiful This is currently in my baby's nursery, it receives many compliments. The yellow is so vibrant. I love it but my husband complains because it hard to keep clean and to vacuum since the white part is raised.

Stunning and soft. I was skeptical to buy a rug on line, especially when there were no reviews, but I loved the look so took a chance. I am so glad I did. Stunning rug and feels so good and soft to walk on. Very quick delivery. I will definitely buy from Overstock again. Customer service was excellent. Very happy!

LOVE the look! But it does shed The same way it took me months to pick my perfect "gray" to paint the interior of our house - it took me a few weeks to finally decide on the rug I wanted. It transformed my family room (walls are "Revere Pewter" from Benjamin Moore, accents are dark wood, sectional is a camel brown color and white trim throughout) from the beige/red with safari-esque look to a more modern refreshed look. It opens up a small space and really anchored the room. My only concern is the shedding. I've had it for 3 weeks now and it is not as bad as it was the first few days, it is still shedding. If you sit on it, you will get rug strands all over your clothes. For the price and style, I am keeping it. I knew the shedding could be a problem and I'm ok with it. Maybe next time I'll do it differently, but for now - it's staying!

Love it This rug is pleasantly thick - no need for a rug pad at all. I was concerned about shedding based on other reviews but after one vacuum, it isn't shedding barely at all, and with two little kids, we spend a lot of time playing on the floor. It is very vibrant and definitely attracts attention in the room. It is very good quality for the price. We are pleased.

Perfect rug Love this rug! I bought it for our family room (where we spend the majority of our time) and it couldn't be more perfect. It's held up so far to two young boys and all their spills and toys. Based on the other reviews, I ordered the Gray color and I agree that it has a look of a gray/light blue color, but looks great with my teal and orange accents. Love it and would buy it again for sure!

Nice, thick rug This is a very nice rug. I ordered the royal blue and the color was a little brighter than I expected so it didn't quite work with my room, which is disappointing because I like the rug and would have liked to keep it. The white is more of a cream than bright white. It looks very expensive and it's very thick so you don't need a rug pad with it.

Why did you choose this product?
Design, quality, color, price.
The size and color.
style, color, and size
Love the design and the color! Just what I was looking for!
The color matches with the refresh of our den and the reviews were wonderful. Looking forward to receiving it!
Any issues with spot cleaning this rug? What is the recommended cleaning method? Just received the rust color rug and love it but need to spot clean a small area and want to avoid any fading from cleaning. Thanks.
Hello tanmar3, spot cleaning with a damp rag and a non-harmful cleaner is suggested. Sometimes I just use dish soap myself. I hope this helps! Thank you for shopping with us!
Water has worked well for me for spot cleaning. Or, water plus a very small amount of mild dish detergent. Mine is going string after a year :-)
I have the blue one and have used a natural spot cleaner and bissell carpet cleaning solution without any fading
I see there is a green and an apple green. Is the accent color the same for both? It looks like it is tan in one or the other. Thanks
Hi izzylove, one is an off-white and the other seems to be ivory. I hope this helps, thank you for shopping with us.
Is the accent color in the ivory rug purple or gray?
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hello map122, the lighting does make the rug look like it has a little light purple in the image, however, we confirmed the color is grey. It is grey and outlined with a little lighter grey. Thank you for shopping with us.
I am looking at purchasing the navy rug. I read that the ivory portion is raised. What are the materials of the raised portion vs the navy portion?
Hello kaysie5, we appreciate your inquiry. The whole rug is made of wool. The raised portion is just a different pile height. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
I love the raised portion, it gives depth to the rug and is wool like the rest of the rug.
It my be too late but I can tell you it is one of the most beautiful rugs I've ever purchased and I have a short haired dog that sheds and even though the beige is raised it all vacuum's very easy. And it gives dimension to the rug. Beautiful, you won't be disappointed.
I am looking for this rug in navy, when will it be available?
Hello brruno2000, we appreciate your inquiry. Items are restocked as they become available; however, we can't guarantee if/when an item will be restocked. We recommend checking back with us periodically. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us. Have great day!

Hello chour23, Yes you are correct the white part is raised. Thank you for shopping with us!
Yes, the white pattern is raised from the rest of the rug.
if rug is too small do I have to pay for return shipping? You do not have larger size in color I need.

Is the design the same on the front as the back side of the rug?
Thank you for your interest in the Hand-hooked Alexa Moroccan Trellis Wool Rug (6' x 9'). If it does not have a backing on the rug, it should have the same design on the back.
it has a backing. At aleast the one i received did.
The back of the rug is a sturdy white fiber, and cloth wraps around the edges underneath. I have a Safavieh rug pad to protect the hardwood floor. Beautiful carpet! I got it in green after having been accidentally shipped the rust color.
Looking to buy the navy. Any chance this color will come back?
Thank you for your interest in the Handmade Luna Marrakesh Trellis Wool Rug (7'6 x 9'6). The navy option is available and in stock.
Do you have a pms color chart you could look at to match the green to? If not and if it arrives and doesn't work with my specific green, then what is my cost to return it?
The shipping weight of the rug is 35 pounds, UPS will be able to tell you how much it would cost to return.
I got the rug in green. It is a lime-ish grass-ish green. Color is pretty accurate to the overstock photos. pictured.
Im interested in the green however don't see any description on depth of color. Where in the green family is this color (lime, olive)?
it is a lime-ish green, grass green. Depending on the lighting it will look a bit moer toward olive (incandescent light), and in daylight or sunlight looks a beautiful lime to grass green. I love how now that it is spring I can look outside and see grass and then look inside and feels like I have a grass green carpet to match. Definitely glad I bought it. :)
Does this rug come in a larger size? I am interested in the gray rug. On line the color looks like a true gray but one of the reviews says it is more blue. How can I know the color of the rug? Thank you.
There are 3 sizes, put the title in the search bar and remove the dimensions. The manufacturer is calling the product gray.
