I am 5050 on this rug. I like the colors and it goes well with my bedroom. If you are looking for a rug that looks 40 years old, then this is the rug for you. I just dont understand the trend of faded looking rugs. Every rug I have bought recently has that shiny faded out, muted pattern look, which is very hard to tell from the online pictures. I dont want to go to the trouble of returning it and trying to find something else because I have not chosen well on any rug I have purchased , so Im keeping it.
