After reading all the reviews that said the rug was used in a child's room I was a bit concerned, but it was unwarranted.  This rug came on time and well packaged.  It is another one of those items that can be used anywhere in our home, it does not look overly feminine or child decorish at all.  I plan to use it is a sitting room off the guest bedroom. The colors are as pictured and I was surprised to see that the colors are actually variegated, but still true to the picture.
