I was looking for a rug that was very easy to clean for looks mostly. I was hoping it was very low and thin, living in a warm climate I wanted it to protect a wood floor. These are perfect! I spent weeks shopping online daily for the perfect fit. Was wanting one with all these colors and red. You can't see it online but there are touches of a deep red in this as well. Very subtle but beautiful. I got 4. I laid them under a much heavier carpet to relax them. They laid flat in 3 days. So far no regrets, I love this brand!
