I've had this rug for a couple years now, and it's held up really well (although admittedly, for most of that time it's just been my husband and me traffic-wise, and one year of a dog being around as well). I love the colors and the pattern still. I think the photo is mostly true-to-color, but the gold/yellow triangles seem a little less bright in person - that was true from day 1, not just after 2 years of use.
