This rug is beautiful from one side, but from the other side it is washed out and hard to tell what the pattern is because of the way the fabric is. I thought over time that it would even out, but it is still very different looking based on the side you stand on. This rug would be perfect if it was a vibrant, colorful, and easy to see from all sides. I would return, but I gave I waited too many months to try and see if the fabric would lay differently and look correct.
