I was hesitant to buy a rug because of it's simple, identical pile. I was afraid it would look too one-dimensional. I usually like something with a little more depth and variety of weave, but I loved the colors in this rug so I went for it. I am thrilled with it--I love the way it looks in my library. It looks wonderful next to a reddish leather chair and blue painted chairs I have. The navy & teal blue in the rug, the deep red & hits of pink give this traditional, old-world pattern a vibrant appeal. Also, it is the easiest rug to clean, I don't worry about my kids ruining it. Hooray for peace of mind!

Pros: beautiful colors, easy to clean, great traditional / tribal / old-world looking pattern
Cons: weave is one-dimensional, but the rug still looks beautiful, I love it
