I absolutely love this rug but hesitated to order because it very much looks red and white in the pictures. After reading the reviews I felt confident it was not white and ordered. It is the red and cream/tan I wanted. Funny, even in my review picture it looks white. I put my chair in the picture that is definitely a shade of brown. The rug is just a shade lighter than my chair. So, if you want red and white, this is not the rug for you. If you want red and cream, it’s gorgeous. Think red grain sack colors. And what a great price! Only 4 stars because it does have a blemish like a glue spot but not worth the trouble of replacing it.
