I bought these for the narrower width and shorter length to fit my bedroom hallway. I knew it was a shag, but wasn’t expecting it to be such a thick pile. They are quite slippery without a rug pad, so I use a rubberized pad, which adds to the thickness.  I trip on them constantly due to their thickness and slightly turned-up corners. I am using the runners for now, but not very happy with them. Color closely matches description.
