The rug seems well made and the colors appear pictured. Has a nice mid century feel to it. The four stars are simply because there are some small folds at one end of the carpet which we havent been able to resolve. Hoping they settle over time. Contacted the company and they provided ideas (very fast response too). I do think this is normal for rugs that arrive rolled up.  Hanging them by one end would probably work like a charm, but our carpet is too big for that. All I all, for what I consider an inexpensive rug, this product is quite lovely.
