We adore this big-pattern rug.   It's not too thick.  One end arrived curled up but soon began to lay flat.  It brightens brown furniture and is a great complement to a sofa a bit on the bland side.  The light shades in it provide relief from the bold pattern but they still have enough gray in them so that they don't appear dirty, even in a high traffic area.  The pattern is not absolutely uniform;  there are variations in the coloring in some parts which keeps the rug  interesting.
