It’s such a vivid pop of color! It’s just as described. If green puts you in a good mood, I wouldn’t hesitate getting this rug. The underside has a “rubberish” material that seems like it would keep it in place if you didn’t want to get a rug pad. But, I purchased wayfair’s rug pad for it. It adds a little cushion, which I like. I recommend this happy green rug!
