Review on Safavieh Evoke Collection EVK256A Navy/Ivory Oriental Distressed Runner - Ideal for Living Rooms, Entryways, Bedrooms, and Hallways by Holly Smith

Well here I am leaving a one star review for something I should have known better not to buy in the first place. I loved the design so much that I was really hoping that all the other reviews about the dark blue color weren't true. As soon as the rug was delivered I saw the staining around the edge and saw the bright blue color that others have kept mentioning. I tried to fold back as much of the rolled rug as possible to take a photo in natural light to add to my review. The color does not show well in the photos and looks much darker in the photo. I have my actual navy blue curtains next to the rug in the photo for comparison. The color on the border is exactly the same shade of blue as the entire rug. I can best describe the color as a light blue, almost the color you would expect in a child's room. Luckily I didn't unpack or unroll the rug so returning it was easy. I think the search for my dark blue rug continues.
