LOVE this rug. Very good quality, dense weave. Beautiful colors. To me it is exactly as pictured. The material is not 100% wool, though, as it says in the website description.  It is actually 80% wool and 20% cotton, which I think is even nicer.  A little bit softer on the feet.  I couldn't be happier.  I bought the 9x12 size and a pad to go under.
