The quality of this rug is excellent.  The colors are beautiful but slightly off from the description.  While it listed a pale rust,  the background has a bit of rose.   Also, the overall color is slightly muted (in a very nice way).  I didn't want the rug overpowering the living room.   Even though at first I considered returning it because I wanted a deeper rust or terra color, it's just too beautiful to return.  Also, the beige border is two inches wide (slightly wider than pictured). I wouldn't call this a traditional style but more transitional.  I've had several friends and family members visiting (varying ages and tastes), and they've all not only liked it but loved it.   It's a keeper.  Thank goodness.  After a month of searching online for a large area rug it is nice to be settled.
