I'm so pleased with this rug - there is more pattern to it and colors interwoven through than shown. Like the other reviewer pointed out, the color is not an ice blue as shown when you first receive it. I have a lot of light coming through one side of my living room so you do get that ice blue shimmer depending on where the light hits it. From other parts of the room it takes a darker blue color. It's such a steal for the quality.
