I had these saved to an idea board but they were out of stock for awhile.  I got real lucky and managed to get 2 of these on sale.  we use them in our "tuscan-y/french country-y" kitchen.  one we use on the floor in front of a bank of lower cabinets, for standing on while cooking/washing dishes etc and the other spans the length of our sliders going out to the deck, for wiping feet when coming in from outside.  the colors are intense and rich, just like in the photos (at least on my monitor).  they've held up pretty admirably the last few months to daily use by us and daily abuse by our cats, so I hope this means they'll last a long time to come.  I'd definitely recommend.
