This rug is beautiful on my Asian Tigerwood wood floor. I have placed it under my dining room table. The dining room style is Country French (more French than country). The description says Oriental design, but I don't think it looks Oriental at all. It is well made and with a pad underneath, it is just the right thickness on my wood floor. I didn't want an ultra plush rug because if the rug is too thick, the chairs are hard to move in and out when seated. There is a border running around the outside and another about 11 inches in that looks like dots on a brownish background. The background is actually a beautiful burgundy. There is a little burgundy outlining in the center medallion but none in the ornate filigree on the navy background. There is just a little burgundy in the ivory border and some subtle green. I thought the whole ivory border had a greenish cast to it, looking at the picture, but it doesn't. The rug has so much more detail than the online picture depicts. The navy is a very nice blue, not a dark blue/black, although at night, the blue does darken somewhat. I had no problems with curled edges. What I really like is that it is not wool. I thought I wanted all wool rugs in my new house. I have a wool area rug in my living room, that rug has NOT quit shedding! I find clumps of fibers all over! I have repeatedly vacuumed it like suggested, but it still sheds. This Radici Noble rug is not wool so it doesn't shed but still has vibrant colors and looks very elegant. I ordered the Navy 7'9"x9'6" size and it is exactly the stated measurements. I was hesitant about ordering because return shipping would be quite high on a rug of this size, but I loved the design on this one and took a chance. I am thrilled with this rug and would highly recommend it if these are the colors you desire in a rug."..." Read more
