I love animal prints and have been looking for a reasonably priced rug for a small bedroom. This one caught my eye and it goes very well with the rest of my décor. The rug is true to the colors as shown in the add but also has some brown "spots" within the black stripes and some spattering's of black spots in the tan areas. I really like the look. The pile is lower than I expected but the rug has such a good look overall that I am not concerned. The backing looks good and I am confident it will wear well in a bedroom environment.So glad I had a good choice of sizes to choose from.
