The rugs colors are very vibrant, however please note the light border area is cream colored and not on the gold side as the picture depicts.   The rug also has a very low pile which is something not noted at all in the description. If you are looking for plush, this is not the rug to buy.  It is very well made however, and looks great in my living room, so for the price it was well worth the purchase for me!!  

Pros: Very classy looking.  Adds beautiful warmth to a room
Cons: Very low pile
