I hate to take away stars when the issues I have are probably my fault.  Buying rugs online can be dicey and I knew that.  I also knew that the pattern might not match exactly with the online picture.  The rug was much lighter in person, less blue-gray and more aqua and teal tones.  Also, the pattern wasn't as small and detailed as it looks, more like splotches. So again, mostly my fault for trusting an online picture of a rug to make a purchase but the rug itself was nice quality!
