Love this area rug! The colors are true to the picture. Teals, blues, sea greens and a mix of minor colors of all kinds to give a rich texture and bohemian feel. A mat is needed to prevent slipping. It vacuums well but if your vacuum has a powerful suction, careful to not let any weave ends get pulled up. I had a cat vomit on this rug days after I got it and after 3 scrubs and a basic carpet cleaner with oxy in it, the stain came completely out. I was very worried of it happening again, so I did scotchguard the rug and it took very well and did not alter any color at all. I have this rug in a bedroom in the 6x9 size. I have received many compliments. No regrets.
