This rug looks great in my dining room!  When I first started to unroll it, I was surprised how bright and "teal" the blue color was.  Once I got it all the way unrolled, and especially putting the table and chairs on it, I like that it is a brighter color.  It still lightens up my dining room!  (Of note, it was dark outside when I took these photos. Might look even lighter in the daytime).
