Ok, I think this rug appears great on first impressions. There is a massive problem with it though. The whole rug, which is very large, has dyed the whole beige carpet that lay underneath it a pale red colour. This carpet is going to cost hundreds to replace so I'm seriously unimpressed right now. This has happened in areas that have neither had spills or are not heavy walking areas. I can only assume the dye was still damp when I received it. I now have to replace a really bug carpet for the landlord! Be warned, this may ruin any flooring you have underneath.
