I was a bit surprised that the background is more of a chocolate brown than the black I expected; still, I love the way this rug turned out; the blue is especially bright! It doesn't slip around, and the corners were tamed to lay flat after an afternoon with some books on them.

I love the rug. I also bought the same rug in an 8 foot round for the living room area. This runner is for the kitchen. The colors in the rug are just as the picture show them. I especially like the fact that the rugs are made in the USA. I have had many compliments on these 2 rugs. Thank you Wayfair!.

It's just what I needed. The colors are beautiful. It really warms up the whole room. The pile is very low so if you are looking for something plush this won't be a good choice for you.even painted my Cosgrave Coffee table, also from Wayfair, a bright blue to enhance the blue in the carpet. A good rug for the price!

I purchased this rug in the 8 foot round. Its gorgeous and worth every penny.
