This rug is gorgeous. The colours are more vivid in person, and the greens are, in general, a cooler green than they appear in the photos. In addition, the shades of teal and steel blue are richer. The pile is pleasantly plush and is loop, not cut pile. The rug is a couple of inches shorter than 8x10 in either direction, which is common. The Wayfair salesperson I dealt with was incredibly helpful, too - a bonus!
