I ordered my rug to cover an area of the carpet in my apartment where time and use had created a bump in the carpet. (I hate carpet, but it's a rental, so there you have it.) I am using it to bridge the funky carpet between my other lovely areas rugs (also bought on Wayfair a couple years ago.) I like a bohemian vibe, so the layering and mixing patterns is just perfect. The color of this rug is so pretty, very like the pictures, and soft underfoot. Very pleased!
