Very happy with this purchase. I've had this rug for several months now and it still looks brand new. We've already spilt some red wine on it and didn't have any problem cleaning it up. The colors are subtle, I would say there's a bit of a blue undertone. It's soft underfoot, not too thin, very comfortable. Since it isn't wool you don't have to worry about it shedding! For the price of this 9x12 rug, it's a great value.
