This rug looks better in the photos than on my floor. The photos do not misrepresent it but it the large size of my purchase -- hm -- it is just way too colorful? The rug is machine made with a very short fibers. But, on the plus side, it was inexpensive (you get what you pay for) and has held up well. I couldn't use it for the room for which it was intended but moved it to a bedroom where it adds warmth. The color still is a bit glaring but the bed covers most of it so in the end it works well enough.
