I am extremely happy with this rug. I ordered the same pattern in an 8' x 10' and entryway size rug. Both shipped and arrived promptly and both were ROLLED-not FOLDED, which I appreciate. They were also very well packaged with some cardboard on the ends and lots of heavy duty plastic wrapped around the entire rugs. Amazingly, both rugs relaxed within 24 hours (we put books on the edges). They are soft and somewhat thin-we have a pad under one, but not the other and it is fine.
Now, as to the color, which was a main factor for me. We have beiges, golds and taupes in our Great Room, with a dusty aqua accent color. These rugs match perfectly. The rugs do have a light side and a dark side, but the difference is not extreme. The overall background lines throughout the rugs are between a light charcoal and dusty aqua/teal.
These rugs are a nice quality for the money and I would highly recommend them.
