I ordered this rug to replace one in our laundry room.  It looks exactly as pictured on the website and is a nice quality.  Both sides are identical so it can be reversed.  When using it over a hard surface it does need a non-slip pad - both for safety and comfort and so you don't have to constantly readjust its position.  Our old rug had a rubber backing so I trimmed it to the same size as the new rug and used it instead of an actual pad.  We love the bright colors in our dark red utility room!
