We love this rug!  It is visually very intesting with great texture.  Well woven and beautifully designed.  The middle red is a rich deep true red.  And the sides are more pumpkin colored looking from an angle, but because of the way it is woven, when you look down at it you see more of the red, and only a small amount of orange.  We thought maybe it might be too orange, but it is not....its an amazing balance and blend of colors.  We are going to layer it on another rug, so we took the tassles off.  But either way it is wonderful.  This is a real value for price and a gorgeous rug!
