Love the colors. A good mix of muted with some pops of bright color. Nice pattern, a balance of modern and traditional. Does feel soft. Good price for such a large rug. That being said it is not a high quality rug. I think it will hold up pretty well, but it is not a forever rug (not that I expected that for this price.) This rug helped me get a vintage rug look for a price that didn't break the bank while I continue a search for a moderately priced perfect fit.
