LOVE the rich colors in this rug. I purchased the 2’6” x 8’ runner to put in front of the fireplace. It goes great with my wood plank looking tile floors. Love it so much, I think I will purchase one for the dining room. This is my second Loon Peak Joshua Hand-Tufted Rug. Both are great quality with rich colors and you don’t really need a mat. Merry Christmas to me!
