This rug is not nearly the same color as the picture. The octopus on the rug I was sent is a dark navy blue, and there is very little detail inside the body (because it is so dark... think too much ink while printing or underexposed in photography). The foliage is a dark teal and dark, mustard/marigold yellow. When the rug arrived it also smelled very strong of mildew or chemical -- not sure exactly. Disappointing overall. It is of a nice thickness. Seems like it would be durable enough.
