It is every bit as pretty as it looks in the photos. I am so happy with this rug! It has ties together the colors in my living room with the dining area, it's soft and makes it feel cozy. I had been looking for a rug for so long and all I found was beige, grey, black, and brown. So dull and ugly. This is blue and turquoise, with bits of yellow and grey, it's beautiful.  I got a higher quality  rug than I could have afforded anywhere else.
