The rug is great and I thought it looked very much like the online picture.  The problem I had is that while the rug was great, the dining set I purchased to go a long with it wasn't so great.  The dining set was much too light in color (much lighter than it appeared online) and really clashed with the rug.  I was just going to return the rug but I liked it so much that I decided just to use it in a different room.
