This rug is warm and cozy, with a great feel to it.  It only took a day to lay flat.  We did weight the corners for a day.   It fits my family room that is traditional, but the rug brings a modern feel to it.  The colors are true; to beige with a gold mixed in, ivory,  a dark cherry red, hints of rust red and a small accent of a dark teal.  I love it!
