This rug feels very luxe - it is very thick and soft without being rigid. The colors and design look better in person in my opinion but this mustard-beige color can look different depending on the lighting, floor color, and surrounding furniture. The contrast on the pattern is very high so if you need something to make a statement this is it. If you need something lighter that will blend in and add a touch of interest then this might not be the right choice. Especially if you already have other visual statement pieces in the room. Overall, beautiful well made rug for a great price!
