I absolutely LOVE this rug! the blues are very vibrant. The rug is actually much softer than I expected it to be. Plus, you cannot beat the price. We get a lot of traffic through our living room, so I wanted something that would not wear easily. It is well made. It arrived within two days of ordering, I was shocked! Plus it was wrapped very well and protected. A few days after receiving the rug my son spilled a glass of rootbeer...I honestly thought it was going to stain. I put some water over it and patted up all of the water and soda. Even after the water and soda dried there is no discoloration or anything. Woohoo! I would definitely recommend this rug. I love it!!
