The quality of this rug is superb, its a 5. I can not express how beautiful and luxurious it is. The problem is that the photos do not depict the true colors. The edging and lighter parts show in the photo as a light cream, almost white and in person it is definitely more sand/tan which does not work in one of my rooms with my grays and whites. The blue is extremely muted almost gray which does work with my colors. I ordered 5 of these rugs in various sizes. I am going to keep them but beware. Order the smallest size so that it is not a hassle to send it back if you don't like the color. I ordered one 12x15 .The colors are rich and soft just not quite the way the photo shows which I am finding is a problem with ordering rugs online.
