I bought both the 8 x 10 and 5 x 8 size.
The 8 x 10 rug has the chevron pattern running sideways, not length ways. The 5 x 8 rug has the pattern running length ways. I think the rug was photographed with the pattern running lenthways which is what I would have expected but not so in the 8 x 10 size. knowing these rugs are made of natural fibers, I would expect some flaws, which they have. I think they could have done a better job tying off the knots where they are spliced together. I was pleased to find out that i did not need apad because the rugs have a sewn in liner on the back side. With this said, I would probably buy the rugs again, they look very nice in my space.
