The photos don't do this rug justice. I initially chose it because the color looked right for my bedroom. The rug is a light teal color, with a sort of washed out look to it, almost "antiquey" looking, but not extreme. It was for under my king size bed, and it's perfect. It's soft on bare feet, and easy to vacuum, and doesn't release any small fibers. It honestly looks so much more expensive than what it cost me. I'm very very happy with this purchase.
