I originally purchased the 6 x 9, and its blue color was richer than showed on computer. Realized that I needed the smaller 5 x 8 approximate size and was disappointed that the blue it more a denim blue. Also, couldn't figure out why couldn't get wrinkles out of the 6 x 9. Now realize it has something to do with the way the gold decoration is woven into the rug. Also, the 6 x 9 has peacocks in corners so didn't realize that the smaller rug would have roosters. Still am using under dining room table because the table covers it up so much that you can't tell the roosters in the corners.
