I just got the rug but so far I'm very happy.     The color perfectly matches the carpet near by and the design goes well in the room.    The color seems a bit more taupe than brown but it works well for me.   I got the indoor/outdoor rug because I live in the country and my husband and our dogs track in a lot of dirt so I will be watching to see how it wears and cleans up.    

Cons: Not a soft plush rug, not for a dressy area.
