I found that this rug was just a bit of a deeper red than pictured and it arrived just a tiny bit dirty (it just had some what looked like saw dust on the inside a bit). Otherwise it was a perfect rug but it just didn't work for my room. I was worried about the trouble of returning it. However, Wayfair's customer care and return policy was absolutely amazing! Please don't worry about trying out a new rug, if you find it doesn't work for you, you can easily return it hassle free! It was so quick and painless.
