The colors of this rug are much more muted than it looks in the photos.  I'm a bit disappointed in that, since I chose it specifically for what appeared to be bright lavender and purples.  In particular, the darker color around the outside is very dull looking.  However, it did lay down properly and is in place in the living room now, so I only hope it will wear well.  I'm having to rethink the accent pieces that I will choose to pull the room together to include this rug, since the drapes I already purchased are a bright purple.  The nap is soft to the touch and the length is just right to sit under the two front corner legs of the sofa sleeper I purchased through wayfair.  Most importantly, the price was right!  Cost less than other choices of rugs in this size that I liked (based on photos and reviews).
