I wanted a rug to match the wood floors I plan on getting.  the color will match.  I like the pattern with the brown in it.  It looks very down to earth.  It has a sturdy back to it, but it is not soft.  I was expecting it to be soft.  It covers a large area.  I would recommend if you want or need a rug to cover your floor.  it did not stop the cold coming through the floor but it is nice to have for decoration and coverage for the floor.
