its a beautiful rug for my living room. The color, in my opinion might be a little lighter in real life. The quality is very good but I guess I didn't realize when I bought it is a wool rug so the off white( not white as pictured) will shed onto the blue and will show up on any darker colored fabric or dog. (lol) One more thing, if you do try to spot clean be careful with what you use the blue with bleed!
