I love, love, LOVE this rug! I purchased the 2 x 8 runner for my hallway and couldn't be happier. The colors are true to photo: soft blue and beige with colorful braided edge. Really goes with any colors in your home and is playful and fun. Rolled out flat immediately. It had a funny chlorine smell, but is gone after 2 days. You won't be disappointed with this rug!
