With all of the positive reviews, I didn’t hesitate to purchase this rug and felt reasonably assured it would be exactly what I was looking for. However, upon unrolling this rug/runner, I have come to the conclusion that my rug has to be defective. The colors are extremely muted, unlike the picture. It’s thin, which I expected for an indoor/outdoor rug. This runner has failed to meet my needs but I waited too late to open it and it has passed the return period. I am extremely disappointed with this purchase.
