I read all the reviews and wanted a rug that would give my country farmhouse dining room (light grays, whites, dark pine) a jolt of color. I had just bought some vintage dishes in a pink and white pattern and looked for a rug that would rev that color up without being too shocking pink. It was exactly what I'd hoped it would be--with a lovely faded antique look to the fresh bohemian color palate. I especially love the light grays and faded purples. I'd had another rug that was made of the same material, so I knew I liked how flat this type of rug lies and it's silky feel underfoot. Truly great bang for the buck! Very satisfied customer.
