Such a pretty rug, and at a great clearance price! . I think it will be very forgiving where stains are concerned; the background neutrals are beautifully mottled and shaded. . It would go with many different color schemes and decors, and looks exotic, but not wild. . . What I don't like: . I put in a search for "non-slip rug", on Houzz, and this rug came up---but it is quite slick underneath and MUST be taped or padded. . The description didn't indicate either way, and I suppose it is too much to ask that this important element be included on the web-page. . . But why can't I trust the search engine?

The rug that I ordered was the runner version (30"x10') and the size is exactly what I was looking for. Finding photos of the rug in this format proved to be impossible, so I ordered it based on the image provided. The colours are somewhat true to the image, although, I felt that there are less colour variations in the runner format. The rug is a low-pile, creases came out quickly once it was unrolled, didn't shed and didn't have a lingering toxic smell. I'm happy with this purchase!
