The rug is fantastic - the colors are bright, but not neon, and it appears well made - I don't expect loose threads / unraveling from the rug based on material and design.  Once I set it up under a dining room table, the rug was just right - not too "loud" but not too covered by all the furniture around / on it.  I jumped the gun to purchase the rug thinking it was for sale at a fantastic discount - 77% off - for a "one day blow-out sale" but after a week and a half, I think that's the standard price and it's just advertised in a way to get people to buy in a hurry.  My only regret is not waiting a little while longer before making the purchase for financial reasons.
