Ok, the ultimate question Do I think this rug is worth 179 No. No, I don’t and I’ll tell you why. But first, let’s be fair it’s okay. As you see on the photos, it has a lot of texture which is a good thing, but there’s something off about that beige background. It’s too dark, too taupe-y, too something to really allow those colors to pop out. It looks a little bit like a sickly color. It’s big, so there’s that going for it for the price, but on the other hand, you can get a pretty decent wool rug for this price, so something to consider. I also get that it’s an outside rug, but honestly, we’re using in the laundry room as the overall look just doesn’t translate for what we wanted it for outside.
