I'm torn over how many stars to give this rug.  It is very high quality and beautiful.  But unfortunately, the colors are not as pictured.  The picture shows striking blues and whites on a dark brown background.  But the rug itself is much more muted and blended.  The dark blue is actually more of a teal and the whites are a cream.  The dark brown background is kind of reddish.  My house is decorated with very contrasting colors and this just doesn't go.
