While the colours in the advertising are not accurate (the actual carpets feature a light dove grey background for the patterns), the appearance of the carpets is very pleasing. We bought two but unfortunately one rug was not rolled carefully prior to shipping and one edge is badly buckled. I am hoping that with time the buckle will fall out and the edge will lie flat to the floor. The quality of the rug is good (made in Egypt) but I do suggest investing in a good underpad to keep the rug in place and to extend the life of the carpets.
