The color+pattern is exactly what I was looking for, making my hallway feel cozy even in the middle of a remodel. It's slightly mottled for a vintage look but doesn't go overboard like other designs. Fades a little with foot traffic and pet hair but easily brightens back up after vacuuming. Feels nice underfoot with a 0.25" rug pad underneath. The border stitching might be the first thing to go, photo is from about one month of use.
