Exactly as pictured! The colors are soft with just the right amount of turquoise. One side of the rug is more pronounced with it fading to the other edge. The rug is softer than I expected and did not need a rug pad since I'm using under a bed. It arrived quickly and was easy to unroll and smooth out the wrinkles (tip: a clothes steamer works great to get out the wrinkles in large area rugs!). The quality seems excellent for the price and I anticipate no shedding. Extremely happy with this purchase and with Wayfair.
