Please note...this is NOT a Handmade Tufted rug...it is a Shag rug...even says so on the backside label.  The blue is much darker than pictured.  A decent rug, definitely will need a pad.  My first Wayfair order....item is not as described...offered me a discount to keep it but would not waive return shipping.  Makes absolutely no sense.  Admittedly left a bad taste in my mouth.  Not sure yet if I will be keeping or returning it.
