The rugs are great. The color is exactly as pictured.  The other reviews were very helpful.  The silk does pull out when vaccumed and the rug sheds the first few times it is vaccumed.One challenge was that one of the rugs was back ordered and the expected delivery was not correct.  I was a little concerned that the dye lot may be different but when the rug was finally delivered it was fine. We did connect the runners in an L-shape and the end is not square so the L is a little off.  There was one more hiccup.  I actually found the rugs on sale within 30 days.  It took a little time on chat to convince the representative that my account should be credited.
