This is a gorgeous rug -- it looks as great in person as it does in the photos. I bought it in the 9x12' size for our living room which has a lot of neutrals and  (coffee with cream walls, similar color sectional, white wood work and accents of blues and aquas and it really just pulls everything together and even coordinates with a hand loomed runner from Afghanistan in the front hallway that has blues reds and creams. It's low pile and medium in softness/texture so I have put a foam pad underneath which makes it feel very luxurious. Of course the key will be how well it wears and resists stains over time, but seems to be an exceptional value. Randall in customer service was a great help and very pleasant, too. And, it even arrived  several days early!
