The chevron design adds some "pop" to my livingroom, catching the eye without being garish or overwhelming.  And the price can't be beat for this 5' x 8' rug.  I'm not sure how it will wear, but so far, it's holding up pretty well.  It's not top of the line, but the price should clue you in!  The blue chevron design is a strong blue, and the background is ivory, not white.

Pros: excellent value
Cons: may not wear well or last a long time; okay by me!
