Definitely a lively rug with a touch of vibrant hot pink for whimsy. Definitely a sturdy rug and reasonably priced for the quality (I paid $198 for the 5x8). I'm using it in a breakfast/kitchen area, and I think it's excellent for that use. In my opinion, the material (which has a slight sheen and presents as a man-made fiber, not a natural fiber) combined with the low pile, make this less suited for use in a bedroom or living room. All in all, it was a good purchase and I'd buy it again.
