I think the colors do look pretty on the rug and accents well with my barstools. I’m taking one star off because of the lining of the rug is already worn like other people have commented. However, I didn’t pay much for the rug anyway and I still plan to get another rug just like it for in front of our sliding glass doors. If its your main center piece and don’t like the imperfections then I would pass on the rug. I don’t mind it since they are my runner rugs anyway.  Other than that, the rest of the rug is nice and the colors are bold and it’s looks nice.
