The colors are very true to the photos! Thats always the nerve-racking part about buying online for me, so I was relieved when I unwrapped it. Its very easy to vacuum. Looks and feels like a good quality and its just so beautiful. Im annoyingly particular about rugs and find that most that Ive liked are too high maintenance to keep them looking nice so this is one of the best purchases Ive ever made! Highly recommend!!!
