I have been checking out this rug across several different sites for awhile, and found it on sale for a fantastic price here. When I first got it, I was a little disappointed. I have a brand new, large apartment that is completely neutral colors (tan carpeting, taupe walls, etc). I love bright, fiery colors. This does look as it does in the Great Offer Stock photos, but for some reason I didn't like it at first in an empty, completely neutral apartment. However, once I got my furniture and accessories in, which have their own bright and sometimes neon pops of color, that's when I really came to appreciate this rug. It is a beautiful color background to help accent colors throughout your apartment pop without overwhelming the space. Now I love it. I kept the rug---very good quality, plush and soft underfoot (I love walking barefoot on it), and laid flat within a day after weighting down 1 semi-stubborn corner.
