I like the size and color, but the rug I bought to match it (same time different size) was in a darker shade- natural variation I guess, but I personally don't like the inconsistency. The rug also has a strong burlap smell (which seems to go away after a few days) and parts of it have blemishes in weaving- again maybe this is the way this type of rug is made, but I don't like the "shabby" look of it.
