I love this rug! I painted my spare bedroom a deep blue (you can see it in the picture) & wanted a way to bring more colors into the room. I plan on putting book shelves up all around the walls so the rug will mimic the colors of the book covers. While the rug isn’t very soft, it feels heavy & durable. It is also true to the pictures, the colors are rich in person. Highly recommend as a way to bring some color into a room!!
