Dark brown, deep and warm. This square rug grounds a living room with cream walls and light furniture, and under a square coffee table it looks like it was made to measure. Rich.

The long polyester pile is machine-woven in China on a cotton back. The dark tone hides dust and crumbs well, which makes it practical in a family living room where people sit on the floor in the evening with snacks and a film.

Vacuum on a low setting, no brush roller. Shake it out once in a while.
