I love this rug. It was piled slightly less high than I expected, and the teal has a gradient from dark to slightly lighter. The way it’s set up in my living room, it visually appears to have been lightened over time by the sun, but we all know I just unrolled it. I don’t mind either of the things I’ve mentioned, but because it was unspecified in the details listed before I placed my order, I’m deducting a star.
