Just as I hoped, this rug fits in with our living room perfectly! We have dusty olive walls, bamboo floors, and a slate (dark grey) sectional, so this rug pulls all those colors together nicely. I also ordered the matching runner and love that. A tip for flattening it- I used a damp towel, spray bottle with water, and an iron to steam it. The rug went from very bumpy to near-perfectly flat after about 45 minutes of working it. The picture I posted is from right after I ironed it.
