This rug will work in several areas of my home due to the neutral colors; but, they are a little more muted than I expected.  As some other reviewers have said, it takes a while for the rug to flatten out.  I have had it on the floor for just over a week and there are still a lot of ripples across the entire rug.  It comes rolled up very tight (well packed for shipment) and this unfortunately creates the stubborn ripples so be patient.  This rug will not look like the nice flat one in the on-line photos for some time after opening it up.

Pros: Neutral colors
Cons: Takes a long time to flatten out
