This rug is adorable!!  The red is more of a wine color, which I had read in a previous review and had purchased because I knew it would match our decor.  I ordered the 3x5 for one room, and ended up ordering the 5x7 as well to use in another room.  It comes wrapped pretty tightly, so youll want to put something of significant weight on the four corners of the rug for about 2 days to keep the corners flat.
