I REALLY wanted to love this rug! It met everything I was looking for in one. However, I have to say I'm surprised by how many high reviews there are considering it did not (IMO) look good in person. The tan/brown splotches looked like accidents that were cleaned up but the remnants via stains left behind and/or coffee spillings. It was really off-putting; my husband and I just couldn't see past that! Unfortunately, had to return.
