I'd ordered two rugs, a 7'x 10' area rug and a 2''7"x 8' runner. As other reviewers had noted the colors are more muted than the picture, so I was prepared for that. I wasn't prepared for the amount of change in scale of the pattern, though. On the runner the pattern is tight and condensed and the colors almost seem to run together giving it a muddy appearance. On the large area rug the pattern is 'stretched' out side to side and looks quite distorted from the picture shown. It shows large areas of the lighter golds and has a very different appearance than either the runner or the picture.  I don't entirely dislike the rugs, but I'm certainly not delighted with the purchase, either.  The weight of the larger rug all but prohibits a return due to shipping costs so they'll be put to use in my home, just not where they were intended.  I'll give more careful thought to a future patterned rug purchase.
