The rug is beautiful!  I love it!!  It came a day or two earlier than expected and looks great with the other furnishings and decor in my living room.  It's in front of the fireplace, so the mottled, darker colors work perfectly (put the darker end towards the hearth).  It is on the thin side, and they were out of the same size pad so I have yet to get that underneath it and give it a little more cush.  One comment that I read prior to purchasing stated there was too much 'pink' in the rug, there is pink in it, but my rug doesn't have enough to be objectionable.  The colors look nearly identical to the photo on the site.  Recommend this rug, especially for the sale price.  Outstanding value.
