This rug worked perfectly to brighten up a dimly lit dining area! If you are considering a purchase, be sure to look at the photos posted by other buyers in reviews because those capture the colors MUCH better than the listing does. The yellow is a soft gold yellow and the highlights are softer as well. The sturdy "outdoor" composition is nice for high traffic areas and chairs scooting in and out under a dining table, but it still has a unique woven texture that makes it work indoor without feeling out of place.
