This rug is just right for what I wanted! I was looking to establish a “room” and cover some less than appealing carpet (what can you do when you rent!) It’s a bit thin so I will add a rug pad, but I knew that given the flat weave. The image suggests that the blue might have a bit more dimension in the fibers but it’s really just a solid dark blue color, no variation. Overall it looks great and I’m really happy with it! I chose the 7’10” x 10’ and I think it fits well in the space.
