This rug is one of the best purchases I've made in years. The colors are gorgeous (taupes, beiges, gold, grayish teals, burgundy) . I have had tons of compliments on it, and it looks like a rug that would cost a lot more than it did. (NOTE: It's called Blue, but the blues are what I have referred to as grayish teal. The picture is fairly accurate.  Love, love, love this rug!
