The rug is exactly as pictured, vibrant, colourful and beautiful! It arrived 1 or 2 days early, well packaged, lightweight. It took a couple of days for the edges to lay flat even though I placed some items on the edges to help the process. Overall, I would highly recommend it. It goes really well with my white couch and the transitional style of my living room. It's not the most comfortable and I will need to get a rug pad for it eventually but for the price it's great. It's been a couple of weeks and it still has that new carpet (factory?) smell, which I find pleasant. I am really happy with it!
