I will honestly tell you I was afraid to buy this rug because it was so affordable! I needed a 5 x 8 for my foyer area and I have colors that are tad harder to find. I found the small matching rug to go right in front of the door I was sold. And of course I figured I could always return it. The rock is perfection. The rug is dense and looks to be very well-made. My last rug was four times the price of this 5 x 8! The photos of my rug are true colors. It is somewhat more subtle than the photograph on, the product page. That’s just fine by me!
