Love, love, love this rug. Purchased a 9'9" x9'9" square rug, a size hard to find, and it looks so rich in my guest bedroom. Was initially concerned about previous comments of disappointment over muted colors. Hastily unwrapped the rug (which arrived earlier than expected) and the colors are vibrant and open the doors to wonderful complimentary fabrics for curtains and upholstery. This is the 3rd Arden rug I have purchased...a terra cotta for the master bedroom, a red for the great room at our mountain home and now this parchment for our guest room. The variation in colors gives us three quite distinctive and very handsome looks. Could not be more pleased with a purchase.
