Two main issues: a) the feel of the carpet is cheap, it feels like plastic. It's also not very thick, which adds to the plastic feeling. b) the colors are much brighter than the pictures suggest. The darker colors in the picture are nowhere near the darkest colors of the carpet. It's significantly brighter than the pictures. The images don't really show the gradation of the colors. It's mostly lines of lighter colors next to lines of darker colors. So it's less of fluid and more pattern-like than the image suggests. I considered mailing the carpet back because it didn't satisfy my expectations, but it's sort of a pain to mail it back b/c the package is just loose plastic wrap, so I'm gonna keep it or sell it myself. Pro: The shipping was very fast and it was easy to unroll, and the wrinkles from unrolling it went away very quickly.
