I was concerned that the color would be off  when I ordered it - I needed red not burgundy.  it is  a nice red - not overly bright but still red.  I was replacing a burgundy red that I really liked but the color no longer worked.  I had that rug for 15 years and it still was in mint condition.  I did not realize until I rolled  it up that it is the same manufacturer.  Hoping this one will last as long.
