This is a great rug. I was unsure of giving it a try because my furniture is dark mossy green, and I wasn't planning to replace that anytime soon. If anyone is wondering if this goes, it really does. The dark grays in the rug can look green next to green furniture. The gold is as others have said, goldenrod, not a bright yellow. Even my dark beige chair looks ok. Really pleased. Pile is good, soft, seems more expensive than it was. Delivery was 3 days earlier than promised and intact packaging. Great rug, price, and service.
