I love this rug! I got the 3x5 size for my kitchen area and it instantly added more character and charm to my kitchen space. The pattern is printed on the rug, but it’s not that noticeable and doesn’t bother me for what I need. You have to keep in mind that you get what you pay for and be realistic with the expectations. The 3x5 was less than 40 so you really can’t beat that deal, especially when you are furnishing a new house. The colors are slightly less vibrant than the pictures online but it’s still a beautiful rug.
