As part of our mid century modern inspired design we incorporated this run into our living room.  The colors are more vibrant than the picture.  Quality rug which does not shed and soft under foot.  Not a high denisty rug but certainly thick enough with no rug backing showing through.  Rug pattern fits nicely into our color scheme.  Purchased a 5 x 8 so we can use it under our coffee table and yet still see our hardwood floors, which would be typical for the 1950s.  

Highly recommend this rug.
