This rug is gorgeous. The actual color of the rug matches very closely to the photo. I guess that varies depending on your device's display, but mine was spot on. This is a natural fiber and the weave is on the loose side so getting it perfectly square is a challenge yet not impossible. A rug pad underneath helps to keep it from slipping and moving on our wood floors. It is thick but easy to walk on. The only negative is the "join" between the fibers in the weave - it is much thicker than the rest of the rug and is weird to walk on. It's not a huge deal and would definitely not stop me from ordering another.
