It was everything we hoped for! The reviews were helpful and correct in that it IS muted. There are some neon pinks on hearts, but overall, the rug brings a bright warmth that brings all the browns and tarragon greens together in our bedroom. The materials of the rug are surprisingly soft and malleable too. It will definitely need a rug pad to stay in place, even with our bed over 1/3 of it. But we recommend if you're looking for something to bring desert rose, reds and soft pink accents to your room.
