I have a love/hate relationship with this rug! I love the top half of this rug, but the strip of red across the bottom is very pronounced and makes the rug look like a mistake happened at the factory - no gradual distressing, just suddenly everything is red. Perhaps it is so distracting because I ordered a larger size. I love the top half so much I considered hiding the red end under the couch, but ended up returning. Wish Rayburn made a rug with this look but better job of 'distressing'.
