I love this rug! The color is just as pictured￼ and it’s beautiful. It is a nice shade of mauve, a great find amongst the options for purple rugs. My bedroom walls are mauve and it matches perfectly. It’s soft, and there was no off gas smell. Although it’s not a thick rug, it feels cushiony enough to make the space warm and inviting￼. It curled up a little at one end when first unrolled, but it flattened out overnight. Would recommend this rug!
