Absolutely gorgeous rug! The pattern is raised which provides a nice feel and an exceptional amount of detail.  The colors range from an aqua blue, white, cream, greenish-blue, to a true blue.  This makes it versatile and easy to match throw pillows and other decor.  We have received so many compliments on it.  The only drawback is that it creates a TON of lint.  In fact, prior to vacuuming I came home one day and their were dust balls all over the house. I finally realized it was from the rug that was shedding.  Eventually it does stop, but it is definitely noticeable if you sit on it wearing dark pants!
