This rug is exactly as described. It is not plush, but that is not what I wanted. It is nice looking indoors. We have a coffee table without wheels in front of a sleeper sofa, and the rug is short enough that the table can slide easily on it to make room to pull the sofa out. The color is vivid, but not tacky. It rolled out and laid pretty flat from the beginning. I am very happy with it.
