I absolutely *LOVE* this rug! I shopped and shopped and shopped online, probably 40 hours worth, saw many different websites, different colors... then I just got exhausted, lol... the day I saw this rug I said "I need this rug" and wham! Bought it! It is perfect on my cherry floors. The colors aren't quite as bright as the picture (think barn red, not bright red, along with a muted tan, light blues... dark color around border I think is dark brown, very neutral) and it's so lovely, soft to walk on. It's in my (open concept) living room, totally defines the space, not obnoxious but noticeable. It reminds me of the beautiful wool rug on the floor of my childhood public library, old wood building... just comfy and warm. Love.
