This is a beautiful rug. My monitor shows the rug in reds and oranges. Description said colors may vary. I was, at first, disappointed in the color I received. It's mostly turquoise, lime, and teal......with a small amount of red and orange. Rather than using it for the area intended, I moved it to my bedroom and absolutely love it! Goes perfectly with my very colorful quilt containing the same colors. I'm a happy camper. I don't think it would be wise to use it in a well traveled area anyway. Since it's handmade, I don't want to worry about soil or frequent vacuuming. Or...any of the knotting coming loose. I just love it!
