After reading all the reviews, I knew exactly what to expect. The rug was a perfect fit! The design isn't as pronounced in the pictures on the web, which I'm fine with! I wanted something muted but detailed. The carpet is thin but nothing a padded nonslip can't fix. Can't wait to start enjoying once the rolled up creases smooth out! I acutally ended up getting the hallway runner too! We have 4 dogs in our house and this is perfect for them, it doesn't show the wear the tear and its super easy to clean!
