I liked the colors and the design of this rug (the pictures show it accurately). The pile is dense and it looks like a good quality overall. From what I can tell, the rug is supposed to imitate a faded/worn-out antique look, but comes a bit short of that and ends up looking somewhat cheap. I still think it is a nice rug, especially for the price, but I ended up returning it because the size and the style didn't quite work in my room.
