I am very pleased with this rug. I looked in numerous local stores for area rugs for a new home graphic design studio, but the prices were just ridiculous. I was hesitant to order online without being able to inspect the color, quality and “feel” of the rug. However, I have ordered several other items from Overstock in the past and always been pleased with the quality and customer service, so I decided to take the plunge.
Wow, I am so happy I did! The rug is better than expected - soft, plush and gorgeous. Quick delivery, arrived in perfect condition, no odors or other problems. On my monitor the primary background color looked a dull brown almost charcoal, but it is actually a rich chocolate brown. The pattern is unexpectedly lovely as well – the ovals are not exactly symmetrical in shape but a little irregular giving an organic effect like stones set into a walkway. Another thing that’s hard to tell from the photo - some of the ovals feature a mélange effect. The oat color has some warm-grey yarns throughout, the beige some olive, the copper some light brown, etc. It’s subtle but lovely and gives the rug more depth and a textural quality.
I would describe the overall effect as classic with kind of a 1940’s vibe, slightly masculine and tailored. It’s just perfect for my home studio space and I couldn’t be more pleased. The great price allowed me to get a larger size than I would have otherwise been able to afford, and the large rug adds presence and really grounds the room. My furniture is antique cherry, the walls are a subtle peach flesh, the curtains are copper silk, and the rug fits in perfectly. Hope this helps!
