Oh so glad you asked this. I am not a rug person at all - but love this rug. I use those colors in much of our home. I have thought about this rug for our dining room. Where are you thinking of using it?

Hi Tina...so funny! I need a rug for my dining room also! I use a lots or reds, blues, yellow-gold.... Having a hard finding true reds, not burgundy! The rug looks like more of a brick red, but it doesn't look burgundy. I have been thinking of ordering the sample, but would love to see pics of it in someone's actual home...

Check this link below, where someone is selling it on eBay. The seller says that they take their own digital pictures and they are very different from the others selling the rug, where they have clipped an image from the PB website.

It may help see the truer colors...It IS beautiful!

Wow that is different! Thanks for posting that my3dogs. Where have you been??? Missed you around here. Any new projects or buys in your lovely home? You know we need to see!! LOL

This rug was on sale in the catalog before last. I wonder if you can view it in the store? It may be too much of a rust/brick/orange for me.

The store should have a sample about 2' x 2' that you can 'borrow' for $25, then get that deposit back when you return the sample. They do here in Maine.

My latest project is replacing the VERY rustic bathroom area in my unfinished basement with something more up to date. It started when I removed the 1946 toilet when a house flipping friend sold me a new $600 Toto for $75.

The vanity will be this $30 Craigslist bureau, with a granite rem top and a sink dropped in. I have only restored the top drawer, so it looks rough. The hall tree mirror was from my ex in-laws home in NY, and they were going to leave it there. They let me have it and I have stored it for 20 years! I stripped the old finish off and re-did that and its hooks this past weekend.

I've bought a faucet, lights and a sink, and my carpenter buddy is down there right now pouring new concrete to level the floor. We'll tile over it, and end up with a room within the cellar that is about 3.5' by 8'.

Does Pottery Barn have their rugs on sale very often??

bama, it seems like every so often they do. I was able to buy one at the actual store for a great price. The quality is amazing compared to a rug we bought from world market cost plus. They are worth their price that's for sure. They are more "plush" if that makes sense, they also dont let off that dusting that some rugs give off.

Just now saw this 3 dogs! That bathroom is going to be amazing!!! I have an old halltree mirror also but ours is different. It is supposed to have the 4 hooks but 2 are missing. I am still searching for replacements!

I hope you will share pics when your bathroom is finished.

I don't personally own this rug. However, I too was attracted by the beautiful colors in the PB catalog so we drove up to the PB outlet store where they had the 10x14 rug on sale (for 50% off I might add). The colors were NOT anything like the catalog enhanced photos. Very drab. The blue was almost gray. The red was rust. The gold was blech tan. And the green was move of a washed out olive green. We were extremely disappointed and left empty handed, despite the "cheap" price.

We did also notice that they had one of each size marked down, half off. Apparently it's not been a big seller and I'm guessing the deceptive catalog colors are the answer.

Actually, I thought that *anything* you return to PB ends up at the outlet whether it's defective or not.

What I find disturbing is how dinged up and crappy everything looks in the one in Memphis.

I have that rug in my family room and I love it! I was worried that it would be to light and show too much dirt and dog hair (two large black dogs) but I swear nothing shows. The colors are pretty - not too bright but not too muted either. I borrowed a sample but it was kind of hard to tell because it's mostly the blue border which makes it hard to envision the whole look. I'll try to post a picture if I get a chance.

Thanks everyone for your input! winnipausaukeefan: Would love to see a picture of yours! What color is the room painted that you are using it in?

I would also like to see a picture. Thanks!

I realize this thread is old but I just received my PB Eva rug and I'm wondering if any of you can let me know how your Eva has held up over time... I'm not "thrilled" with mine but I do like it. The pile is thinner and less comfortable on the feet, also the colors are not variegated, instead they are very solid which gives it a cheap look. Thank you in advance!

Can anyone who owns it please provide information on where it was made ? More pictures would be good to have.

The rug is made in India.

Did you buy it from PB directly or on Ebay? Some Ebay rugs are not the real deal.
