I had previously ordered the runner in the same Safavieh Lyndhurst collection in Majestic red/ivory for my dinning room & I loved it so much that I decided to order the 9 x12 area rug for my living room, the color matches the runner perfectly, however the design although it is the same as the runner, it is less intricate & more beautifully spread out, the red color is vibrant & it makes the room feel warm, inviting, & regal. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase & would definitely recommend this collection, especially the great deals, the fast delivery, & the best customer service at OS.
