Colors in the rug are not like the picture of the rug in the ad.  The background is not beige, it’s a light greenlight blue color.  It’s a beautiful rug, thick pile and it didn’t need a pad underneath it.  My main concern is that the rug doesn’t go with my decor because of the different colors.  I’m still waiting (since early August) for the rug to lay flat.  There are several areas where the rug buckles up and could cause me to trip if I don’t pay attention.  The rug sheds, particularly around the perimeter.  There are always little pieces of yarn sticking out.  I’d really prefer a different rug with truer colors to match my decor.
