This rug was purchased to update our kitchen.  The color is very nice with a rich blue hue.  We received them fast however they were shipped rolled up in plastic.  I don't have a problem with that except that once the rugs were rolled out they wanted to go back into the rolled up form.  We had to place something heavy on the ends for a couple of days to try to flatten them out.  However they still curl up on the ends.  I am sure they will flatten out eventually - I will just have to trip on them a little longer.  We also had to put non-slip tape on the bottom to keep them from moving.  Also, keep in mind that since it is a darker color you will be able to see everything that falls on the rug - especially in the kitchen!
