If you want WOW, you won't find that with this rug. What I like/liked most about it was the size (hard to find), cotton backing (basically eliminating the need for a rug pad), and the pile height (.50) The colors will not WOW but, for me, will act as a subtle blend to the area of beige and cherry. And the price? You simply cannot beat Great Offer Stock on value and price for area rugs. I am happy with my final choice for what I wanted (seldom used hall bath).
