Quite a cheerful rug, well-made, good weight and comfy under bare toes, but because of the white areas not recommended for high traffic use. Takes a while (2-3 days) to level out, as it comes tightly rolled. Because of the palate, it's easy to coordinate in a variety of situations. Please note that not all areas are solid color blocks -- several are blended of two colors. This adds interest, and is a plus in my book, but others might not feel the same. Helped me add life and spark to an area that was edging on too restrained. I picked up the red in an otherwise metallic and gray room by adding some dashes of color in the form of plain fabric valances over brushed aluminum blinds. It worked nicely.
