This rug is gorgeous and lush. It is much nicer than it appears in the picture. I will be placing this underneath a queen size bed in a room which has wall to wall carpet. If you are on the fence about putting an area rug on top of carpet, get this rug. It is heavy and lays flat. It is thick and plush. Feels more expensive than the price. The colors are true to the picture. This is a great buy. I purchased the 6 x 9 size to anchor the bed.
