Beautiful rug! The colors are very bright and somewhat flashy.  The yarns used have a shimmer to them so it lends an almost metallic/glittery appearance.  For the cost, the rug is well made, thick and buttery soft.  If you have a room you want to add some flare to, this is a good specimen!  Very happy with purchase, now just painting the room so I can put it all together... delivery was faster than expected!  Ordered it on a Tuesday, given Friday delivery, it arrived on my doorstep on Wednesday! Crazy fast!
