I am very pleased with this rug. I wasn't sure at first because the coloration is somewhat different than the way it appeared on my computer screen. Our floors are very light and the Clarence rug looked to have a light ivory edge which is what I wanted. Turns out the border is really dark beige with golds. I rolled it out and stared at it for awhile and decided to keep it and it has really grown on me. We put a pad under it as it is in the main living area and it is very soft and comfortable.
