Good choice!
I purchased this rug to put on top of wall to wall carpeting in the lower level.  I live in the North East and the lower level floors are cold so I needed additional warmth.  The rug looks exactly like the photo.  It's a thin run, not a plush rug so it works for me since it's laid over the carpeting.  If you want a think plush rug this isn't the one, but if you want color, design and style it's a great choice.
