I ordered this item on May 3. The first rug that arrived had colors very true to what was depicted online but about a 5 inch section of the rug along one side of the border was not stitched to the rug. I received a replacement yesterday. No problems with the workmanship on the replacement but the coloration was lighter than the first rug that was shipped. Had I not had both of them next to each other I most likely would not have noticed the difference in color.
