The rug is thick wool, and the pretty pattern and colors seem accurate to the website.  I saw it in the picture online as more rust colored than red, and, indeed, it is more of a deep rust color.  It seems well-made.  I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 just because it smells like it sat in a very damp, musty basement for a long time.  The odor is still present after four days, but the card that came with it claimed the smell would fade. (Hopefully, soon.)  Maybe the warehouse needs a dehumidifier.   Otherwise, I'm quite pleased with my purchase.
