I fell in love with this rug immediately after opening the package!  I thought the colors would be brighter and I was worried it would "take over" the kitchen.  The colors are somewhat lighter (Royal and Teal-ish) but the overall effect is just perfect.  You get the benefit of color without it shouting out.  5x7 rug anchors a round, white table (Wayfair) and two chairs and the look is just perfect AND I don't think I need a rug pad.  The price was fab and overall, I'm so glad I made this purchase!

Pros: Great price, nifty pattern and nice color
Cons:  May need a non-slip rug pad if used indoors on slick floor
