I fell in love with the photo of this rug the first time I saw it. I was thrilled to see that it looks exactly like the photo. It matches my dining room colors exactly and ties everything together. I don't like my tile floor, but can't afford to replace it, so this rug dresses up my dining room. My dining room chairs are very heavy, but they don't leave any indentations in the rug which is a plus. It isn't a thick rug, but it looks like it is. I haven't spilled anything on it yet, so I can't coment on the stain resistance, but it's not showing any dirt so far and I have a dog who loves to sleep on it. What a good buy!
