The colour is lovely - a coral red. Even tones. Nice weight. A wee bit of a musty aroma when unpacking but the included card from Savafieh noted that this is normal and will dissipate once opened and exposed to the air. Most everything I have ordered from this company has been great quality.

The rug was filthy when I got it along the cream border with stains and dirt smudges. Looked used. Not a bright red. It was like a rust color.

So, here is my opinion on this rug. First, it looks beautiful in my living room. The blue color

Beautiful rug but....

The rug really is lovely but the end that was in the middle when rolled up and put in plastic is worn off in several spots. It looks discolored but upon closer inspection the rug material is actually worn away; presumably from being stored in the tight bag for probably too long. Unfortunately I didn't notice it until just a couple of days ago.
