We ordered this rug in three sizes and are very happy with all of them. The colors are as pictured, and the material is acceptably soft. The rugs are quite thin, which I was expecting. We are using these rugs over carpeting in a temporary rental, to protect it from our kids and cats, but if I had them on a hard floor, I would very definitely want a pad underneath. Also, there are some stubborn curls around the edges that haven't quite flattened after a week, but I expected that also, and I'm confident that they will flatten with time. There was initially a slight plastic or chemical odor, which I didn't notice after the first or second day. Overall, we are very pleased and would definitely buy again.
