Beautiful and just as pictured! Some reviewers said they didnt have any blue in their rugs. I happened to get one that had the blue just as pictured. It may be luck of the draw but its well worth the price. It was a bit wrinkled in corners but I placed chairs over those sections and it flattened out quickly. I can get away with not using a slip mat underneath but I would recommend using one if you dont have heavy furniture in top of it.
