This is a lightweight and beautifully patterned Persian-style rug. The colors are as just as presented in the pictures. I didn't buy this for the floor, however. It's a sound baffle for my teaching studio/music school. I imagine it will work just fine for someone's low-traffic floor. I would check other reviews if you're curious about high traffic areas. Either way, the price was right (on sale) and I think even at full retail, it's in the ballpark for any nice Persian-style rug. I'm pretty happy with it.
