This is a very pretty runner with a unique design.  I bought it for the short passage between my family room and kitchen and it looks perfect there.  It is hooked wool which I like- wool just seems to last longer and this is a high traffic area.  The background color is a gorgeous red.  The chicken and bug design add a lot of different and vibrant colors.  The ONLY thing I am confused about is that I ordered a red runner.  When It got delivered, the tag on the rug said burgundy but when I unwrapped it, it looked red.  So I don't know if this rug does come in both a burgundy AND a red color.  Since I am happy with the color I got, I did not contact anyone about the discrepancy.  I am very happy with this purchase.
