For now, it meets my needs as it is being used in a narrow long space and 24 in X 72 in, and thus works perfectly.  I bought it mostly for the dimensions.
Color is much more washed out than expected, is it trying to look old and faded?  I might learn to like it better, but for now it just looks like a cheap carpet trying to look older than it is.  

Since I've been looking for something for that space for some time, this meets my needs.  Luckily at this price, I don't feel compelled to return, as I will use it until I find something I like better at the same dimensions.
