This is a gorgeous carpet, very happy with it. On my monitors (chromebook, ipad, pc) the colors show true, a true warm persimmon red (not a blue red). It is in our open plan living/dining room on a pale maple hardwood floor with darkish grey walls (BM Chelsea Grey), white millwork (P&L Designer White), accent colours include sage green, platinum, gold, persimmon and black. Thick and luxurious, it sheds a tiny bit at first but that is to be expected with any natural fiber (wool) rug. The minor initial shedding that occurs is easily vacuumed. Infinitely better than any synthetic, very comfortable underfoot with the addition of the rug pad, however substantial enough that the thick rug pad is definitely optional as you prefer. Perfect delivery as with all things Wayfair. It is wearing beautifully in a fairly high-traffic spot. Perfect!
