I needed a new area rug and after many months decided on this beauty!  It is beautiful in my room.  Goes well with my slightly eclectic / mid century modern decor.  It's wonderful to walk on and I have had so many compliments.  My living room goes into a large foyer so I am considering the additional purchase of a matching or complimentary runner.  I definitely recommend this.  The colors are not overly strong but are more muted.
