I am so EXCITED! This rug arrived yesterday and I was really sweating the colors and the texture of the rug. The colors are true to the picture - it is aqua (which the description states is "blue." The colors (aqua and subtle oranges) are not in your face, but just right. The feel of the rug is wonderful - it is so soft. It is not like one of those stiff, cheap, scratchy rugs. I put a thin pad underneath, which makes it look even more beautiful. Actually, it looks like a very expensive oriental rug. The first thing my husband said was, "We are NEVER getting rid of this rug - it's gorgeous!" Packaged very well and arrived in ONE day - the pad arrived in TWO days.
