This is a beautiful rug. I ordered it online after looking at a ton of rugs. I thought it might be lighter and a little bit more gold and tan and instead it was a much darker brown in person. After having it for a few weeks, I just love it. The colors are beautiful and it is a really pretty rug. It looks very expensive. It looks great with dark hardwood floors. On the downside, it is very thin, has a rubber backing, and is an inexpensive rug similar to what you would find at *** . It is a bit overpriced in the 9 x 12 size. I am disappointed they don't have a 7 x 9 size however the rug was so pretty I ordered the 9 x 12 for my living room. Not only is it beautiful, but it doesn't show any spots so if you have a pet, it is very pet-friendly. I plan on adding a rug pad but I'll wait until I get the 9 x 12 first. I should also mention that they were no odd smells and the rug did not shed at all. The edges curl a bit however if you put something on it, it will flatten out. I don't think you will be disappointed however you just need to make sure that you are looking for a much darker (brown) rug. I tried to include a picture as it appeared on the monitor but it said the image was too small.
*Update: I ordered the 9 x 12 rug to match this runner however it doesn't match at all. The color is different and the pattern is different. The whole reason I ordered the runner was to see if I liked it in case I wanted to order the larger rug. My best guess is that they took the runner pattern and enlarged it on the computer and that is why they don't match at all. I do like the hallway runner but if you are looking for a match, this isn't it. I really think they need to call the 9 x 12 different name. It is deceiving when they both have the same name and both the color and the pattern are totally different. I put the runner on top of the 9 by 12 to show the difference.
