Very soft and pretty rug - I really like the subtle hints of gold and blue. However, not happy that 13 of rug is much lighter than the rest. I am aware that the rug has a dark and light side depending which way you’re facing, but as you can see in picture the left side is completely faded out of the brown color. I thought maybe it was my lighting or maybe the way the rug was lying but nope, the area is light no matter which way you are facing. I’ve vacuumed it and tried laying the ply down but it can’t be fixed. Disappointed as I really love the dark color that is on the rest of the rug. Expected better quality for price.
