The colors were muted and not clear and bright like in the photograph.  The rug looks really cheap.  The worst part is that it smells really toxic!  I have it on my back deck off-gassing.  I could smell the rug all over my backyard, even when we were swimming in the pool.  We planned on using it inside, but it may have to stay outside until winter.  I'm really disappointed because I ordered another rug (Danko Blue) from Wayfair that was much nicer and deserves a 5-star rating.  This barely deserves the 2-star rating.  The only reason I'm not returning it is that it would be a real hassle, and I could probably eventually use it on an outdoor patio next summer if it ever stops stinking.
