The rug is just as pictured really pretty design. I loved the raised design and it looked great in my living room but as I started taking pictures of the rug for my review I noticed pulled loops and fraying in a very obvious area which I couldn't hide under furniture. I have Wayfair area rugs throughout my house and thus was the first one that was a disappointment not a good quality rug and would not have held up like our previous rug. The rug we had that we moved into another room was in better condition after several years in a high traffic area.
