At first I thought it was a little much, but it quickly grew on my and I love it.  The orange really pops more in real life and at first I worried it was too bright. But its amazing how low maintenance it is.  This isn't a 'looped' carpet, so you don't have to worry about loops coming undone and strings showing (happens constantly when you have cats who claw rugs). My last rug was several hundred dollars, shedded constantly and showed dirt/stains terribly. This one looks great and is so easy to take care of. For an incredibly cheap price!
