This is a great rug. The colors are basically the same as on the screen, though at first they seemed slightly muted. After a couple days of settling and vacuuming, the colors deepened and brightened as the weave perked back up. It's shedding pretty substantially right now, but that's expected. I have it in my dining room, and the pile height is just right -- deep enough to feel nice, but shallow enough that the chairs slide in and out easily.

I've been disappointed buying rugs online before, but 8x8 is such a tough size to find and this rug seemed so pretty that I took a chance on it -- and I'm glad I did! 

Pros: great colors, nice size
