Reviews can be helpful but there seemed to conflicting reviews on actual colors, etc. so I took a step in-faith and am SO glad I did! I bought the burgundy, wich is a deep garnet color, with a cream and blue here and there accents--JUST what I was wanting. The rug is a nice thickness of almost 1/2 inch and does not look cheap at all--just the opposite, looking rather opulant. Other than a mild smell firstly when rolled-out and overnight only on the more inner-compressed end needed a few heavy things to make stay flat--now the area rug is on TOP of a low-pile cream/tan bedroom wall to wall rug. It does NOT move around, not needing a pad under it at all. However, if placing on wood floor, that may be needed, although it is a pretty heavy rug, that feels really nice underfoot and also acts as yet another sound barrier between my downstair's neighbor and myself. Waking-up to this rug and seeing how I have expressor rubberwood bedroom chests, platform bed--all of which bought from the O as well--really pulled everything together to include the navy blackout/insulating curtains and crimson bed cover (all from the O as well)--just made my place POP!!! I have every bit of a two-seater sports car, so it is so convenient to have such inexpensive shipping, low prices and quality from one company I always check firstly!
