I was really exited about getting this rug but after it came and we unrolled it we could instantly tell that something was off about it. The pattern didn't quite match the picture and while it does look like there are faded parts in the original product picture and there are faded parts on the one we received the faded areas were not in the same place as the picture; there was only a couple faded lines across whereas the picture looks to have three making the pattern on the one we got very obviously unsymmetrical and not so great to look at. Also since the faded spots are not in the same pattern it makes it look like we got a defective rug, the faded spots look almost like the pattern just wore from being packaged rolled up. I mean it is a rug so it is still functional as one but it doesn't live up to its picture whatsoever.
