I agonized over my dining room rug. I had already purchased one and ended up returning it because the colors were not true to the picture. But I am so thrilled that I went ahead and purchase this rug. The feel is great, it's reasonably thick, and I love the colors. The red is definitely red, but the navy has bits of green in it making it look a little more teal-ish. It is a beautiful rug, I couldn't be happier with it, and the price is great!
