This rug is SOOOO AWESOME! Originally I purchased one for our guest room, but loved it so much I ordered another for under our dining room. Color is like on other reviews, more minty/green vs true turquoise. Middle is beige as stated. It has a griper underneath so we have not needed to use a rug pad on our wood floors. We've had them a few months with no issues related to quality, but they aren't in super high trafficked areas. Best part about them is how soft they are for how thin the rug is. Wish it came in more colors and I'd buy even more!
