The rug is very beautiful. It fit perfect where I needed it. The colors are not the same as the photo. There is a lot more bright white than as it appears....very little beige/taupe/gray and the teal is deeper in tone...binding is the dark teal, too. If you're looking for a more subtle, soft neutral rug with less color variations....this should not be your choice! A rug pad is necessary....makes it plush....all in all, it's still wonderful if the colors work for you!
