Cannot love this rug enough! A beautiful pattern that is a fresh change from the traditional oriental. The colors are exactly as pictured but do fluctuate with the direction of light. The lighter portions of the rug look creamy white from one direction and darker beige from the opposite direction because of how the carpet fibers lay and reflect light. If you plan to sit on the floor, you will want to purchase a rug pad since the rug is thinner and won’t provide cushioning. I am seriously considering purchasing a second rug for my other living area!
