Nice cotton rug. If you are placing on wood floors, you will need an anti slip pad underneath. Colors are accurately reflected in the photos. I purchased a 5x8 blue rug for the bedroom, at the foot of the bed. I was considering this rug for the living room. I am glad I did NOT buy a bigger version. The pattern is a bit crazy; having the blue pattern in the living room would probably be a bit too much (it's a bit dizzying if you look at it for awhile). Four stars because there were some loose threads. Also, there was NO smell when the rug arrived (one good reason to go with cotton and natural fibers).
