When I first saw the picture, I fell in love--looks like my ocean, and it's in my favorite colors.  The rug is actually even prettier than the photo.  It fits perfectly with my color scheme.  My only worry had been whether the navy part was just too dark/black, but it isn't.    I was going mostly for color and ambience/atmosphere.  But there are some side benefits--Not terribly heavy or difficult to postion;  I moved it around to try in a couple of rooms--yeah, I bought a second one just like it!.  Also it lies very flat (without any underpadding) and so isn't a worry for people with rubber-soled shoes or disabilities.   I got the first one on sale but frankly didn't begrudge the 50% increase to get the second one.  When I first started searching for a rug, I never thought I would find one which makes me smile every time I see it.  Just perfect.
