Many thanks to all of the reviews for helping me to make the right purchase.  Colour: Navy and Deep Burgundy.  Size:  True to size.  No sand in the one I received.  It is exactly what I was looking for and without the reviews of actual colours, I may not have selected this one based on the photo.  The rug is beautiful, many compliments, soft on the feet.  The corners layed flat immediately, no curls. I am very happy with this rug. Great customer service, shipping and delivery for Canadians.  Thanks guys!
