This rug has an attractive combination of colors with the blue, taupe and beige.  It’s eye catching and still subtle.  It was easy to get the rug to lay flat right away.  I like the quality and that made it worth paying more than some of the less expensive other rug choices.  What made it perfect for us is that it’s offered in an 8’ square option.  This is what we needed for our small room that has a Murphy bed.  Very pleased overall!
