The rug was a good value for how large it is, but the look and feel make it quite obvious that it's cheap.  I don't expect the rug to last long, it feels very thin, and the print (instead of weave) is obvious and slightly garish.  Still, the cost is low enough to merit these issues in a short term apartment.  

Pros: Good value for the short term
Cons: Very thin, garish colors, cheap looking
