I chose the carpet because of the colors and I needed a flat weave or very low pile to fit under our doors. The carpet is a nice addition to our hallway. The colors are accurately represented in the photos. It is 'rustic'. I had considered returning the runner as there were lots of white threads visible through the design. Instead, I used a black magic marker to color the white threads and that made a difference in my liking the runner and so I kept it and will enjoy it.

Excellent quality. Color shown is more maroon but it's actually a chocolate brown and mustard. Looks great in my living room!
