True, it’s not as pictured. The chevron stripes aren’t as wide, but they also alternate what direction they go in.  Unlike the photo.  
We got the futon so the doggie could see out the window, but then she’d slip on the floor when she hops off.  So this washable rug is just what we needed.  It’s really attractive.  But it’s not much different than laying a towel on the floor as far as functionality goes. I don’t want anyone thinking it has weight to it or any kind of backing.    It’s beige, black, and a grey stripe in the middle of the black stripes.  I was worried it would actually end up being navy.
