Looking at the picture, and then the rug, the picture is prettier than the rug itself. The colors are not as well defined when laid out in front of me, in my opinion. However, with that said, it is still a very pretty rug!! The rug is on the thin side though and almost kind of itchy. There is no padding to this rug so If you're looking for something padded, I do not recommend this one. I don't foresee this rug lasting for a long time, but it will do the trick for now! The price is decent, and you pay for what you get!
