I ordered this rug to replace my old rug I had previously purchased in Turkey, so my expectations were low when I ordered this particular rug. However, the Blue/Ivory rug was true to color and very soft to the touch. I only gave it four stars because it was thinner than I had hoped it would be. Still it looks beautiful and was definitely affordable. If you have dogs/cats though it will definitely need to be swept everyday. The hair can be seen very easily, I have two Weimaraners walking around and laying on mine and you can see the short hairs something terrible, I sweep it constantly. Pros: Beautiful colors very sharp looking,soft to the touch.Cons: Thinner than I expected, shows dog hair and needs swept every day.
