I absolutely love this rug! It's exactly the color shown in the picture, which brightens up any room. Originally I bought it for my office and got several compliments from admiring coworkers. Now it's livening up my bedroom in my new apartment. My mom and I searched together endlessly for a rug without finding anything we were super in love with....and then we stumbled upon this one and fell in love! My only regret is that I didn't buy it in a larger size!
