This rug is certainly nice enough for what it is, and for the price as well.  However, be warned that faded colors don't fade.  This is "pixilated", in the sense that the pattern just plays out in a different color where the "fade" is happening.  Each "color" in the pattern simply has two different colored yarns (bright and faded) - so close up it just looks blotchey.  Again, nice enough, but be aware of what you're getting.  It looks unnatural close up because it is.
