The colors in this 8’ X 10’ area rug look beautiful with my breakfast nook decor. The dark slate blue is very striking and unusual, almost black in some places and the lighter slate blue also blends nicely with other shades in the room. The cranberry red is deep and rich, and it blends well with some similar shades in my chair cushions. The camel color and the cream color are nicely distributed from the slate blue and cranberry center medallion to the outer border. The wool fibers are very soft, and the rug looks like it will hold up well in a high traffic area. The rug is not very thick, so a rug pad is definitely recommended. It is the perfect pile height for my nook, and it already lies fairly flat even though I only placed it on the floor yesterday.  The rug is a beautiful addition to my decor, and due to the stain resistance and softness, I am sure it will serve my family very well for a remarkably reasonable price.
