We recently remodeled our kitchen and the color palette was changed too. My old rug no longer matched. I looked high and low for a colorful, affordable rug to match our rust and green theme. I found this 8' octagon shaped rug. I hesitated because we usually use round rugs, but we thought we'd give this a chance. We received it quickly, and are thrilled with the colors and the quality. The bonus is that because it's a dense, hefty pile, it laid flat immediately. We're so pleased with the rug and highly recommend it.
