We are very happy with this rug. The lighting in my picture is terrible, but the rug appears as pictured in the online posting. I find the blend of beige, grey, brown, and blue to be the PERFECT mix for the color combination in my great room. Because of the poor lighting in my own picture, it's hard to tell that my dining room chairs are a light steely blue. With my dark wood floors, the rug completely complements the color of my chairs and flows nicely into my beige and grey living area. Disregard the black dog tail at the bottom left of the picture. There is no black on the rug itself :) The construction actually feels better than a previous Safavieh rug I had prior to this rug. It's a soft construction and flattened with weights/books placed on the corners for somewhere between 24-36 hours or so. Great rug for such an inexpensive price!!
