There aren’t enough stars to describe how we feel about this rug!  I had been looking for a rug for our dining room for several months, to no avail.  Our dining room is bordered on one side by the kitchen and on the other by the living room so there are strong colors influencing on both sides.  We had cussed and discussed all manner of colors, patterns, and textures. Nothing seemed to be right one.  And then we found the Alsie Southwestern Beige Area Rug.  Perfect!  I think what makes it work is that the rug has this great bold pattern and yet is essentially tan and cream so in terms of color works almost anywhere.  We have received compliments from literally everyone who sees it.  We could not be happier!
