I love the look of this rug even more in person.  I just moved and wanted an intense color statement.  This will work in either my living room or dining room and think it will be under the dining room table.  Everyone I showed it too liked it, too.  It's fun and not what a person might consider a safe choice but I wanted something unique and this fits the bill.  It is soft underfoot.  I am very happy with this rug.
