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. Didn't pop at all. Didn't match and was disappointed it looked used. Returned it.

Perfect for foyer definitely order a rug pad!

Updated 6919 - I took away 2 stars because my dogs toenails keep catching the carpet. I understand this is normal wear and tear, however, the threading underneath is black, which your eye now immediately catches and it looks bad despite being less than 6 months old. I searched a long time for a rug for my daughters playroom. It had to be soft for her to play on. This is definitely soft! I would almost describe it as silky to the touch. The white “dots” are ever-so-slightly raised. I also wanted it to be a fun print for a playroom but versatile enough to be used for other - more grown up - spaces if need be. Others have commented on the color being more of a rust red, which is correct. I personally wanted this color, but it is a different red than the photo. With 2 dogs and a baby I’ve already had to spot clean it. The staindirt came out very easily - you would never know I cleaned it! The only other thing to be aware of is the white edge of the rug almost looks cut (See photos) 24 sides are like this. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be like that It doesn’t bother me, but I know it might bother someone else. Overall I’m very pleased!

Love the pattern but wore out quickly

loved the color and design. It went perfect in my foyer
