The quality and workmanship of this rug are stunning given the price. The colors in the photograph online are not quite accurate though. that is, the border is not as intense a yellow as in the photo. I wouldn't call is ivory as the name suggests. I think it's more of buckskin--on the tan side of ivory. The background color of the center is slightly more blue than the steel gray color in the photo. nonetheless, i'm still very happy with it . . . actually, i'm happier that the colors vary slightly from what's depicted online! pros: great valuecons: color not quite the same as what's shown online
