I am going to keep this rug because it will do as an indoor rug in our den - seems sturdy enough to withstand my grandchildren playing on it every day. However, no one mentioned and I failed to notice on the photos the fact that some the lines are literally crooked, as though the power loom manufactured it with a defect. This defect makes it unsightly but for the hugely discounted price,  I suppose I got what I paid for. The colors in the photos are very close to the actual ones.
