Note: I received a 4x6 rug, not 5x8 as listed in review title. The rug looks exactly like the photo in real life. It is super neutral and goes well with browns, greys, khakis, and off white. It looked great either way it was laid out and even when mostly covered by the table, still shows enough to add some style to the room. The rug was thick enough that the corners laid flat soon after un-rolling. I think it’s going to hold up well and not show dirt.
