I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of this rug. As I hoped, the color is more of a muted teal than a blue and the texture of the rug is amazingly soft.  While it's a fairly thin rug, placement of a rug pad underneath provides additional thickness and keeps it from sliding on the hardwood floor. Although other reviewers said it took days for the shipment wrinkles to flatted out, all evidence of folds and wrinkles were gone within a day of my placing it in the living room.
