I have been eyeing this rug around the internet for about 3 years now. I recently moved and I broke down and bought it for my new place. I hesitated to purchase it because the description says yellow/ black. Fortunately I read the reviews and it was described as more of a taupe color. I would say that description is more accurate. Striking and bold, this rug takes my decor to a whole new level. I'm in love with this rug. Very high quality Persian rug. Soft silky and luxurious. Exactly what I hoped for.
