I needed a bit of color to break up the brown tones of our patio and patio furniture.  This rug gave just the right "pop" of color.  The rug is a bid more subdued in color than it shows online.  It is a bit more orangey than red.  It has a nice "antiqued" look about it.  I did pair it with some brighter red accent pillows on the patio furniture, and it looks very nice.  The quality of the rug seems great, especially for the price.
