What I love about this area rug is its rustic look even though it may not be so.  However, I chose this rug because I believe a living room should not have such an arrogant look.  That's why I appreciate this rug's rustic color since it gives my living room a welcoming feel.  The sale's price was just right for my budget.  I love it.  So, 4 stars is appropriate for what I got from this product.
