This rug is beautiful, soft, and so fun! It is definitely closer to blue than the aqua it appears in the pictures, but it IS listed as light blue, so I figured it might be. It also had a horrible chemical smell when I opened it, but with some baking soda and essential oils, I was able to get the smell out. It doesn't have the rubber on the bottom to hold it in place, but we have a rug pad coming to help with that. Overall I love it!
