I purchased this rug for my dining room so I was looking for a durable good looking rug that wouldn't quickly show crumbs or spots. This rug fits the bill and then some. Its rich colors and plush feel underfoot are similar to rugs that cost twice as much.In terms of the specific rug, know that the red is definitely a "brick" red -- very muted and is definitely not red or burgundy (there were varying opinions on the reviews and I know colors appear differently to different people but it is definitely NOT red b/c the oriental in my living room which does have a red background clashed so terribly with the brick red of this rug that I moved the red rug to another room).Also, the overall effect of the rug is more tan/brown than red or black. I have now purchased two rugs from Overstock.com and neither was well represented by the picture or the description; if you want a rug that matches specific colors, buying a rug this way may be risky.My only issue with the rug was that it came folded in a square rather than rolled so that it had creases, two of which took over a month to work their way out. Now, however, it looks fabulous and I've had many compliments on the warm atmosphere of the room. My success with this purchase inspired me to purchase another rug from Overstock.com to replace the red living room rug. That rug was also an excellent purchase!
