Love this rug. Even more beautiful than the pictures. The red is a deep color, not burgundy, nor bright red. Kinda in the middle I guess. As with most things from Joss and Main it takes a bit to get it out of the wrapping, have some scissors handy. Unroll and put some books all the way across both end and by the next morning it’s flat. I appreciate how they package everything because everything I’ve bought from them is perfect condition. I’ve bought everything from them for my new apartment and couldn’t be happier with all my purchases.
