It's a very nice rug but it was lighter than I thought it was going to be. It's shades of blue but I made it work. The main issue I had with this rug was is was shipped folded like a towel and not rolled like a rug. It's a 9x12 so it had lots of folds. After three weeks of trying to stretch it out, I had to Wayfair with this issue and was told other people had the same issue. They did say blow drying it could help and offered to exchange it. After researching on YouTube, I spent several hours on my hands and knees ironing the rug with a wet towel which has helped. I'm going to do the tougher folds again soon. If you buy this, ask to have it rolled and not folded. The customer service rep said she can put in a request if I decide to return it. Returning it sounds like a hassle.
