I loved this rug when I saw it online, but was nervous to buy the pattern in such a large rug size.  I was not disappointed-- it was exactly what I wanted.  The creme color is much more of a sandy beige in person, but I was expecting that.  I found the rest of the colors to be exactly as they looked online, not washed out as some reviews say.  I was also concerned that the pattern may look too pixelated (and it does a little) but the effect is so beautiful I don't mind it at all.
