This is a soft, very beautiful light blue rug - very peaceful and serene to look at.  The description and photos were very accurate.  I got the 9X12 size and couldn't believe the low price!  I shopped around for the best price and found the same rug on other sites for a lot more.  Delivery was faster than I expected.  I'm thrilled with my beautiful new rug - thank you, Birch Lane!!
