This rug is even more beautiful in colors than as seen online. It appeared the reds were candy apple red but it is a rich burnt red and the colors go perfect with my Southwest home theme. I purchased for a open dining area with heavy table and tall chairs. I wasn't sure if the chairs would slide easily while scooting back while seated in the chair. They slide easily back since the rug is somewhat thinner. This is a high traffic area so I like the low height. The colors are what pleases me most. Rich southwest colors throughout. The texture has the look similar of a hand woven rug  giving it a cozy feeling.
