I almost gave three stars because I am disappointed with the color and definition of the patterns.  I looked a long time for a rug that didn't look worn out like so many do these days. The color in the photos go from very light spa to darker.  The medallions on the sides appeared clear.  The rug in reality is very light spa and the medallions are barely visable.  The beige parts run to grey and look like splotches of dirt.  It appears to need cleaning.  It does have a nice feel underfoot.  I'm keeping it but I don't think I will be ordering a rug that is not in front of me.  I have been happy with other products I have purchased.  Fast delivery and well packaged.
