I was pleasantly surprised when I received my rug! It was not as "muted" of a blue as I had thought it would be and the rug was more plush than I had thought as well. It really  brings a pop of color to my living room (I have cream walls and cream carpets with brown furniture), so I am very pleased with it! It's not as large as I thought it would be but it works out great. I would recommend this rug!
