I was expecting there to be a little more gold in the lighter border area.  The color of the border is really a creamy white which will show much more dirt than the gold would have shown.  The rugs are little thinner than I was expecting as well.  They are very pretty but not quite what I was hoping for in color and quality.  I am keeping them for now until I can find something else that will work for me.  Wayfair is still a great site and I am sure that I could have easily returned them.
