I bought this rug to go on in our new home with dark wide blank hard wood floors.  I am pleased that the color is exactly as pictured.  The style is transitional without being to tradition.  The thickness and quality is wonderful!  We have the carpet in a high traffic area.  We have noted some "shedding" of the carpet - little carpet fibers swept up on the floor

Pros: Thickness and quality
Cons: Shedding of some of the fibers.
