Gorgeous color--as another reviewer noted, it is somewhat mottled, but IMHO it enhances the look of the rug. Perfect length, which was oddly difficult to find. Only negative is that I can't get the ends to lay flat -- even after a week+ of weighing them down, one end still curls up. Not the thickest rug, but works perfectly as an upstairs hallway runner. Am purchasing the 5x7 for my office. Would definitely re-purchase.
