The rug is very nice, especially for the price.  Others complained about the smell, but it dissipated within 24 hours.  The green around the edges is good, as it will not show dirt as much as a previous rug we had, which was cream around the edges.  Others said that they wished the dark brown was cranberry, but in a room without bright light, I think you could use a cranberry tablecloth, pillows or accessories, and it would be fine.  I'm very pleased!  It isn't a 'five-star rug,' but a good, affordable addition to our dining room.
