We're very happy with this rug - the colors are as vivid as depicted and the sunbursts provide nice visual interest.  It stands out nicely in an otherwise neutral space.  One negative (as the other reviews have mentioned) is that it does shed quite a bit and in just two weeks, we've already lost a few ribbons from the sunbursts.  However, there are so many ribbons that you can't tell when a few fall out - it has no visual impact at all (at least, not yet).
