LOVE THIS RUG. It looks even better in person. From some angles the color looks darker/lighter. Feels super soft, however it is not super thick. If your'e looking for a rug to fit in high volume room, I do NOT suggest this (unless you are like me and don't mind asking your guests to remove their shoes). Perfect for a cozy sitting area. I love it so much.. debating on whether or not I should purchase another one!
