This rug is very bold, the colors were stronger than expected (the orange is very prominent). The construction was also a little thinner (the density of loops in particular) than was hoped for, but likely in line with other rugs at that price point. This rug would look good in a room where it can be the focal point. It competed too much with the slate floor in the intended room (the same type as displayed on the fireplace in the sales photo) and for that reason it will be returned.
