It is rare to find a carpet that looks exactly as represented online. This rug was definitely as shown! love everything about this product, the material is pleasing and it has a slight antique look that makes it seem way more expensive than it is. We especially love that FINALLY we found a rug that tied in all the 'off colors' we struggled with in our living room.  Thank you for a great product and looking forward to many years of loving this rug.
