This rug is beautiful, but in real life it is not as bright ice blue as it is shown in the photo. I was okay with this, but just keep that in mind. Also, it had a really strong chemical smell from the glue used in this, so if you are sensitive to VOC's or smells just know that ahead of time. We used baking powder on it and vacuumed it up 5 times and it helped some, along with venting the room.
