My new Manhattan apartment bedroom floor needed something to brighten things up and add interest. The Dash & Albert Denim Plaid Woven Cotton Rug was just what I needed! It is woven of several colors of blue with cross weaving of ivory -- it does look exactly like the thumbnail picture. The texture, pattern and colors break-up the uniform look of the bedroom and work perfectly with the various shades of denim in the duvet, shams, and curtains. My guests all have loved the rug and asked where they purchase one like it. High praise indeed! As for feel, it is soft on bare feet. And it is reasonably priced. It is a terrific rug and well worth considering.
