This rug was exactly what I hoped it would be, although it is just a tad thinner than I expected. The red is a deep, rich, shade which I just LOVE,  and the beautiful pattern, though noticeable, is still fairly subtle. Also, the length is spot on! I think this rug is the perfect finishing touch to my  galley kitchen, providing some warmth and softness to my tile floors and an invigorating jolt of colour in my otherwise neutral kitchen. It seems very well constructed to me, especially for a rug at this price point. I have no doubts it will hold up to heavy wear and tear and any occasional spills. My thanks to Wayfair for my lovely new rug and the prompt, courteous service I received. I am very pleased!
