The quality ,color , and pattern of this rug is perfect. Originally purchased as a bedside rug,I loved this rug so much I decided to put it in my high traffic living room . I received so many compliments on this rug I ordered the 8x10 size. Living on the Cape there is a strong nautical palet/ decore. This rug actually looks very beachy with the blues subtly changing to beige/taupe mimic the transition from sand to sea.
