LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! This is, by far, my MOST favorite rug! Watch how you lay it on the floor. The nap lays a certain way so, it's brighter on one side than the other. If I'm standing on the right side of my room, it's brighter and darker. If I'm on the left side, it's lighter and paler. Still pretty but it IS a BIG difference. Also, it's VERY thin so, I would suggest a $50 rug pad. It makes it nice and cushy. I love it! It's SO PRETTY!!! I have a lot of wood tones, and blah tones. This rug brightened everything up and, at the same time, made the room more cozy.  LOVE IT!!!
