The rug is a beautiful color. It comes rolled in a plastic bag so it takes some time to flatten out.  It is not terribly plush, but that what happens when you buy online.  You can't tell how thick or true the colors will be.   I probably would shop locally next time just because it is so thin.  It has a strong odor of new carpet chemical smell that has lasted several days which I never noticed with other area rugs I have purchased.  Would I purchase another one online? Probably not even though I like the 9 x 12 size and color.
