I ordered this rug for a nursery and was pleased to find that the blue was not as dark as I expected after reading other reviews.  It is not a teal color either, more like a light french blue with gray undertones rather than green.  The rug was wider at one end than the other, but that seems to be common in these type rugs.  The rug did lay down well on it's own after a couple days.  My only complaint is that it does have a pretty harsh texture.

Pros: great value
Cons: color may be a surprise
