I bought the runner rug because the colors look quite vivid in the picture on the website. However, the colors are not uniformly vivid. I do not like variations in color that make it look old or vintage. I like the things I buy to look new and look like new for a long time. If the company was aiming for a distressed look , they should have stated it is purposely distressed. There is much to be desired with the quality of the edging. When I ordered this rug it did not have the close up picture of the rug and the edging. See the attached picture of the close up. Had I seen this, I would not have ordered it. The spacing between the edging stitches are so far apart, it did not look like a finished edging. However, I am keeping it because I am using it in our computer room, a high traffic area but not seen by visitors. It would serve the purpose of protecting the wood flooring. It would be more of a hassle to return it.
