I knew that ordering two rugs I was taking a chance they might not match. They lay side by side in two adjourning rooms (living & dining) and yes my concerns came true. But the rugs are so beautiful and nicely made that I kept anyway. The coloring is slightly different between the two and I knew the pattern would not be the same, but I was hoping that the colors would match better, but so far, I have been the only one to notice.  Everyone else just say, "oh, you have new rugs and they are beautiful" A really big change from my last rugs, that were really light and more formal. These rugs fill the bill nicely.
