I  was a little concerned that the color wouldn't be what we were looking for after reading the reviews, but decided to give it a shot anyway. It turned out perfect for us. It adds a nice pop of color to our living room, not too bright and not too muted. It does slip a little since we have hard wood floors, so we'll probably just need a mat underneath. Also not ultra cushy, but feels nice to walk on :) Planning to buy another for our bedroom.
