I originally ordered the 6x6 version of this rug after stumbling upon seeking a green rug. I returned the 6x6 for 7'6 x 9. **I liked it that much!**
 The carpet is exactly as pictured! The colors are subtle, but the 3-D effect (tufted design) gives it a little pizzazz! The carpet is rather thin; so a rug is necessary! This carpet will work in a formal setting as well as informal! 

There are a couple of "lines" in the carpet and I am "airing them out". I read somewhere that you should turn the rug over...and see if that helps. Keeping my fingers crossed that will work!!
