I guess it was my monitor, but I thought this rug might be garish and bright and "in your face". I was wrong. Although the colors are by no means muted, the way they are blended together has almost a soft quality. The rug goes beautifully in every room of my house. I do not have contemporary styling, but it still works. 
Con: It doesn't have a slip-resistant backing
Pros: It is static-resistant
          It is quite large 
          The pile is short, but dense
          Won't show dirt!
I have included a picture of the packaging because it was so impressive. Not a single thread was disturbed. Usually when a seller takes pride in the packing, the merchandise will also be of excellent quality. And it is. This rug is well worth the price.
