I love this rug! I ordered the 9x12 for the great room and a smaller one for my kitchen. Both are very well made. The colors are vivid. The rug is listed as being red. It is more of a rust but worked perfectly in my already neutral room. I've had it in the room for a couple of weeks. It does shed quite a bit but I vacuum regularly and feel this will eventually take care of it.  I absolutely would recommend this rug to anyone looking to purchase an all wool oriential rug. I believe it will last and be enjoyed for many years to come.
