Beautiful rug!  The turquoise is not as vibrant as the picture looks on my computer, but given that I was a little worried about the color turning out to be overpowering I am quite happy with the result.  The dark end of the rug is very deep and beautiful, and the light end looks clean and bright (as pictured).  If you love color but are concerned that this rug might be "too much," fear not!  It is a beautiful and interesting piece, but is not so bright as to be tacky.
The rug itself is a little thin, which means that with a rug pad underneath I can still open the door that swings over the area.  The material is very soft, so with the pad underneath it is great for bare feet!
