I read a variety of reviews before ordering this rug. The positives far out weighed the negatives and the negatives were made by people who clearly didn't understand the rug they were ordering. I have unusual colored leather living room furniture. It's a burnt orange. I didn't want a solid colored rug nor did I want a bright contrasting patterned rug - it would have been too 'busy'. This stunning 'silvery muted' pattern was perfect. There is wide variations of color with a muted overtone. Not one particular color stands out but blends beautifully with the colors in the room. You hit a home run with this one.Also, the rug is thin, allowing anyone to pad it or allow it to lay flat. I like the flat effect as I'm not stubbing my toe on a thick edge as I enter the room. and furniture sits level.
