This rug is so pretty! The colors are not too vibrant or bold. It not so muted that you can't distinguish the design or colors. It is very thin as many other reviews state but I do plan to put a 1/2" rug pad under it. I do not like the way the edges are bound. I do feel like the binding cheapens the look of the rug. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase for the price though!
