We purchased this rug less than three months ago. In that time, the orange had faded terribly. The parts that were under the furniture are still bright. The rug was in our living room, where we do not get much light and, in fact, keep the blinds closed for much of the day (only occasionally opening the top half of one window). We're terribly disappointed in the quality of the rug given its price point. A rug is a big purchase. The rug that we had prior to this one lasted us ten years.
