I purchased this rug because of the taupe, cream, and very subtle blue pattern. Key word in my search:  subtle.  What I received was a thin, scratchy, garishly colored rug that screamed "Duke" and "Carolina" - the blues are way more prominent than any photo on the site would lead you to believe. Could there be several different dye lots floating around? Some of the other review's photos seem to show exactly what I'm looking for, but no way am I going to reorder.  Will not be purchasing from this site again.
