very true to picture. i purchased 2 rugs, the same size, to lay in my long foyer and while they are identical, they are a mirror image of each other which caused me to take pause but i'm okay with it.  the rugs are great and very affordable; colors are up to the moment and overall... keepers, for sure.  i bought 2 4x6 rugs for the foyer and a 5x8 for the study right off the foyer.
