This was a really good looking rug but I was surprised by a couple of things. 1. The border on the run was substantially darker than what was depicted in photo.  Much closer to a dark grey than the beige in the photo. 2. The rug itself has very distinct variations in the thread colors.  They don’t show up in the photos as much but if your looking for a single color,  with little variation of colors,  you might be disappointed.  On a POSITIVE note: the rug was so much softer than I had expected. Note scratchy feeling like many other jute/sisal rugs. That was a pleasant surprise. I ended up returning it because I wanted a more muted rug and the colored threading and slightly chunky weave (although soft) made the overall look a bit ‘busy’ for my needs.
