This is a pretty rug. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because I have had it for over a month and it still has creases in it from shipping. I did what they suggested but I still have some creasing. The rug is much lighter depending on which direction you put it in. I think this is a plus because I was afraid it would be too dark when entering my front door. I included two pictures, one for each direction so you can see the color differences.
