Just received my rug today. I've been searching for the perfect cowhide for a few years and have never found just the "right" one, because I had hard time deciding on pattern and colors. In person it was just too difficult. So glad I took a chance and just let one be chosen for me. The only issue I have is that the picture and description mentions brindle and white. My rug is mostly red and brown tones with two small (less than 10 inch) patches of white. Other than that, great quality for the price.
