honestly..I loved the carpet when it arrived; it looked exactly as I expected it to. However....now that I've had it for a few weeks, I can now say it's 'fine' but not great. It's not a dense pile, so the pattern spreads the more you use the carpet (walking/vacuuming, etc). The major downside to the pile spreading is the colour of the pattern is less crisp and just looks like a true 'yellow/orange' vs the golden hue from it when it first arrived. I Imagine I'll be replacing this rug within a year.
