The rug was delivered well packaged in excellent condition.  The size and quality is perfect.  The color the background color however is not brown.  It is a shade of greyish blue.  If you require a photo, I will send.  Fortunately, we can arrange the rug under a sofa in this large room and it goes very well since this sofa is a soft grey.  I now understand the wide difference that can be in color.  This will not deter me from shopping here as quality and shipping are very good.  If I want a perfect match I will shop where I can personally select.  To sumarize,  will definately shop again and recommend to friends with caution on color expectations.
