This rug is nice. The colors were lighter and brighter than they appeared in the picture, and I think it's because the pattern is printed smaller on the runner than the large area rug. I was hoping for some deeper, richer colors. It has a large light tan border all around it which I was not expecting! The border looked dark in the photos I saw (again, I think this has to do with the smaller size, but I'm not sure why). I've had it in my home for a few weeks now hoping it would grow on me and I've decided it just won't work with the colors in my space, so I'm going to replace it.
