I bought this rug to go below my kitchen sink.  My cabinets are distressed black and I have saltillo tile.  It looks great, the carpet is a little bit thick for a kitchen rug (entry rug would be ideal).  I have a similarly designed authentic tribal rug and the colors are a bit brighter than the real thing.  For the price, I would say this is a nice rug, but it's not going to be mistaken for a real Persian rug.
