Disappointed. It is lighter and brighter than what I was expecting. It would be pretty in a dark area but overhead lights bounce off of it and you cant really see the pattern as shown in the pictures. My pictures make it look better than it actually does in person. I havent decided if I am keeping yet or not. Also, it says a rug pad is not needed but if you are not putting furniture on top of it, a rug pad is an absolute must.
