I have been eyeing this rug for a long time. Wanted it so badly. I read all the reviews. 
Good quality for the price.
Its NOT TAUPE.
And I kinda knew that from the reviews....that I might get brown or get lucky and get grey taupe that I really wanted.
I am extremely disappointed because its NOT a nice brown. It's a musky brown. Its has a hint of green. So musky green brown. Its ages the room completely. It looks darker at night and brighter with full sun exposure. But it doesn't turn musky green brown to light.taupe grey. With full sun it goes from dark musky green brown to light hint green brown. 
The lighter area cream is gorgeous! Too bad the green brown didn't work for me. And I'm envious of those who actually got grey taupe.
Giving a 3 because the quality is nice. Shipment was prompt. Return this far has been an easy process. Make sure to read return policy. I cant give a 5 for the ugly green brown.
