Colors are clear and vivid. Quality is commensurate with price. This was purchased for a client who is a female veterinarian who required a low maintenance, easy care and quick clean material - and this rug fit the bill just right. While in no way an heirloom piece, it's a fun, happy backdrop for neutral upholstered pieces and it invites accent colors of hot pink, teal and saffron. Swift and easy delivery even in the midst of hurricane threats!
