The rug is perfect for my needs. Thank you to all those who took the time to write a review that more clearly depicted the actual color of the rug. I wanted a more coral/pinkish background, so the knowledge that this was not a true orange was EXTREMELY helpful! I got the color I wanted. It's so hard to buy on line, so the reviews were invaluable. The rug is definitely more muted which was not an issue for me. It's absolutely beautiful!
