This was a great purchase. We needed a 9x12 rug for our entertainment room and thought something in the red family would be just right. I was somewhat concerned when I ordered the rug, wondering how good a 9x12 rug for just over $300 would be. Turns out I had no buyer's remorse. The rug is gorgeous and really adds a nice burst of color to the room. The photos are true to the actual color, a deep rustic red the primary color with enough of a border to add some interest to its look. We have two large dogs, one of which is an Australian shepherd that sheds incredibly, so much so we need to vacuum every other day. Unlike another rug in the house that shows every one of her hairs, this rug does a great job of hiding what she sheds. Very, very happy with the purchase.
