This is a beautiful rug.  When I first unrolled it, I worried that it was going to be a little too loud for my taste.  As I stood back and took it in, I really liked what I saw.  It gives my living room a splash of color without being to overpowering.  It has varied shades of blue as well as gray and beige so it goes well with most anything.   It smoothed out quickly, its soft, and easy to clean.  You really can not go wrong with this one.
