The rug I received is nice, but it is somewhat darker than shown in the picture.  There is actually a very dark (black) border on this rug.  The rug is also kind of thin.  It's been on the floor now for over 2 days and it looks like I just unrolled it.  I presume it will flatten out in a week or so.  Once it does, I think it will be fine for the entry area.
