This rug is a nice heavy rug, just what you'd expect being braided. The red is not bright as indicated on other reviews - it is more of a brick red which was exactly what we were looking for. The colors are true to what is shown in the pictures. Some edges were curled up when we first put it on the floor but it no time all of the curling was flat. These are nice rugs - I would definitely recommend them. They fit our decor perfectly and are exactly as described.
