This rug is beautiful, thick, voluptuous. We are using it as a runner at my daughter's bedside and she loves it.  High quality product all around.  What the picture doesn't show is that the backside has a quilted backing, making all the edges fully finished. I believe this rug will last for years with very little maintenance.  This rug looks just like the picture. If you're looking for a real sheepskin rug this the one to buy.
