I was looking for a rug that had some colour but wasn't BAM in your face colour. I love how subtle the colouring is. It has a nice faded look that almost makes it look more antique. Another thing I really love about it is that it is not super thick. My last rug was thick and it got so gross with animals. This rug is still soft on your feet but doesn't seem like it will trap pet hair. Exactly what I was looking for. Great quality. Highly recommend.
