We purchased this rug to use in an old barn we are renovating.  The distressed look works really well.  The color and shading of the rug is similar to the item as pictured on the website.  I am deducting one star from my rating because the "weave" of this hooked rug is pretty thin.  I guess this is to be expected for the low price.  Looks great in our rustic barn, but I'm not sure I would use it indoors, might not hold up to everyday wear and tear.
