I ordered this as a 12 foot runner.  A runner that long goes in a hallway that is not usually filled with windows.  The only way to get the rug looking somewhat like the picture is to have it sun-drenched.  The carpet is dark (brown) and the flowers are also brown.  The feel and thickness of the carpet are fine but the color is way too dark.  From the pictures I was expecting a cream or very light beige rug with dark yellow flowers.  Nope.  Not even close.
