PERFECT for what I was looking for.  I was upgrading from a tiny rug I got a long time ago for a much smaller apartment and I struggled with sticker shock when looking for a larger one.  This rug was less than that tiny rug and looks great in the space.  With my furniture on it, doesn't seem to need a rug pad, either.  Color is as pictured and it feels nice to the touch.  So far I've spilled both red wine and chocolate on it and they both came out with a little water (when caught immediately).   The scale of the print feels a little bigger in person than the pictures would suggest, but I adjusted to that almost as soon as I got the rug down in the space.
