I’m very pleased with this rug. As many have commented, the golden color of the rug is actually a beautiful canary yellow up close.  It feels thick and cushy underfoot, not too deep a pile to be limiting under a dining room table and chairs. The subdued repetitive pattern of neutral colors will work well with changing table settings of various colors. I love it, And get THIS, I live in the metro Phoenix area, it was delivered in TWO DAYS!  Wow!
