My gripe with this rug has more to do with the way the color appears in pictures versus how it appears in person. I reviewed theBurgundy Area Rug and talked about how the color changes based on the angle you're viewing it from, and this is the same, but the burgundy rug at least looked as pictured from a certain angle. This rug looks much more gray than brown. I've had it in my dining room for a day now, and I'm hoping the color grows on me, otherwise I'll have to return it. It is VERY soft, and a great deal for the price, but the color is an issue.
