AS MOST HAVE SAID THIS RUG IS LIGHTER (DEFINITELY BEIGE) AND NOT AS GOLD AS IT APPEARS, BUT IT WORKS WELL IN MY ROOM AS IT HAS SOME DESIGN, BUT NOT OVERPOWERING AND BUSY. i WASNT SURE AT FIRST, BUT THE LONGER IN THE ROOM, THE MORE i LIKED IT!! AND QUALITY IS VERY NICE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I ORDERED FROM OVERSTOCK, AND WAS VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. I GOT MY FIRST RUG IN FIVE DAYS!! GREAT SERVICE.

this rug is beautiful and a great deal but the colors are much more muted in person. It looks very old world which goes great with my room. Not too much shedding. I love it, for me it was perfect!

This rug is nice but not at all what it appears in the picture. It doesn't have the yellow/gold appearance that it has iin the picture. The background is a real beige and has a much lighter overall feeling. If you are trying to brighten a room this is a great choice. The wool is not as soft as I had hoped for but a nice rug overall.

I read the reviews before I purchased this carpet. The carpet background is definitely a light beige/tan, not the gold color it looked on my screen, but that works fine in my livingroom. The other colors are also more muted (terracotta and sage), the carpet is nice and thick (I didn't put a pad under it) and it feels great walking barefoot. There was no smell to mine when I first opened it -- and the shedding has been limited. I'm really happy with the purchase and think it was a great value for the price paid.

We absolutely LOVE this rug. Unfortunately, it was way too large for our area so we had to return it. Return shipping was just under $**** to get the label from Overstock.com, plus another $**** for UPS to pick the rug up (it's VERY large!). The colors are more of a beige than ivory background and what is described as 'red' is really 'rust' - a very lovely pattern.

I had hunted and hunted for a hand tufted rug that was in the colors I needed. So I searched the Internet, which, believe me, was not by choice. (Seriously- purchasing a rug sight unseen?) But when I came across this one on Overstock I decided the much lower cost warranted a try. One of the reviews said that the rust color was really pink. I didn't want PINK, but another reviewer used the term - "terra cotta." My family decided that if someone used that term, they probably knew what color that was. Indeed- terra cotta is the correct description, although another term could be "salmon." The colors are not bold, but rather subtle.... with a lighter color than "rust," but exactly what I wanted. It does have a lighter olive green and more gold than the pic, but for the price and since I hadn't found anything that fit the bill as well, I happily kept it. I was astounded when the shipping was only $2.95 even on a 9X12 tufted rug! It weighs a ton.

Sorry to say, this rug did not work out. The "red"color so many people tried to describe, is really pink. Plus it is more of a plush rug, like carpet. You can clearly see each individual yarn instead of the yarns being blended together (I believe this is what hand-tufted means.) It could work in a house that has other light, or pastel colors, but not with dark reds and blacks.

I ordered this rug wanting something warm and gold, but it is ivory and a cool color. The "gold" accents are more of a dark tan. The border is terra cotta, not a rust shade. When moving it to a bigger room to roll it up to return, we discovered it looked nice in THAT room so we ended up keeping it, but it does not look anything like the pictured rug.

This rug is beautiful. The colors are not as bold as the picture looks, they are really very muted. There is no reddish color, it is bronze.There is a very pretty moss green that is more prominate than the picture depicts. And overall it is more beige than yellowish.

This Rug is a lot lighter then in the picture however it is accurately described by Overstock in the written description. It has a subtle almost faded look to it with delicate colors of beige, green, red and gold. This is a top quality carpet that fit our walnut wooden floors beautifully. I am very happy with this purchase!

The carpet is beautiful and is as exactly colored as in the written description. You cannot see the moss green color in the picture but it is very visible in person. This carpet is predominantly gold , red, and green. Good thickness and workmanship and a GREAT BARGAIN. You could not get a better rug for this price in the 8'9 X 11'9 category. Highly recomended.
