This carpet looks much different in person than online. My biggest issue is the thickness. It is not the .5 inches in the description. It is Much thinner even compared side by side to a carpet that actually is .5 inches thick. We measured it using a caliper and it was .375. As for the color, I know there's always this risk since monitors can't always depict true colors. The rug's colors are MUCH more vibrant. I typically like this, but for where I am using it I did not want a vibrant teal like color. Even the blue is more blue than the navy in the photo. It is also more taupe than gray. Overall this product is nice if you like thin vibrant rugs (after all it is an indoor outdoor rug!) However the product description and images missed the mark by a long shot.
