SAFAVIEH Braided Daphne Geometric Cotton Reversible Area Rug, Red/Multi, 5' x 8' Oval

The colors are vibrant! The rug is a thick heavy rug. Depending on your flooring and furniture you may not even need a rug pad. It flattens out fairly quickly and the packaging smell fades quickly as well.

This area rug is more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The colors are vibrant, and seem to match with everything! I wanted to bring in some light %26 color between our black dining furniture %26 grey toned floors and this rug does the job perfectly. The edges of this rug curled up only initially, we followed their instructions for installation and within a few days the rug looks perfect. There is no smell, aside from the plastic packaging - for which we are glad of how well the rug was packaged as it arrived in perfect condition. The rug does have some small amount of loose threads at the very edges, they look like they could be trimmed very easily - I left a few as I liked the homespun appearance they gave. Savafieh comes through again, we now have 5 of their rugs - not purposely, I was actually surprised by how I gravitate to this brand without knowing. Admittedly though, if we find ourselves in the market again, we'll turn to this brand first, the styles are beautiful, they are long lasting and easy to care for.
