To be honest when I first received  this I almost turned around and sent it right back. It is really a picture of a rug on a mat. But, I waited a bit and let it grow on me because it was the exact colors I needed in my office. I would not use this in one of the main rooms in my house, and I used a nice quality rug mat which helped a lot. I deducted one star because I feel it is a little over priced for what you receive.
