I needed an area rug that is not too jazzy for my sitting area. I did not want the same old plain look, my chairs are brown. Well I tell you this rug is beautiful. It is not all that jazzy, however it has some zing to it. I was disappointed with the pile, quite short, however it is so soft and nice to walk on. I placed a thick pad under it and it is heaven. The price was awesome. If your looking to jazz up an area in your home, I recommend you purchase this rug to make that area pop. For the price wayside had this rug, I really did not expect to see the quality I did. (I still think they made a mistake on the price)
