I recently installed a new hardwood floor and am so happy with it. I wanted throw rugs to complement the beautiful light oak, not cover it up. I was looking for informal, summer-y  cotton rugs that nevertheless had some heft to them and would last. These rugs are thick and soft; very well-made. Perfect! 

Pros: Well worth the reasonable price; the color is true.
Cons: May need to dry clean instead of using the washing machine.
