The colors are just beautiful!  Just redid our bedroom at our beach house and the rug looks perfect.  The rug is comfortable to walk on, needs a rug pad if nothing is holding it down.  We did not need one as our bed and furniture hold the rug in place.  The rug came when promised, was well packaged and needed a book for a couple of days to hold down the corners from packing.  Very pleased with this purchase -love Birch Lane/ Wayfair!
