This rug looks so cute in the picture and maybe would as a runner.... but in the larger size 5x7 it was actually scarey!!! The gold frindges only make it look more gastly. The fabric feels waxy and not at all soft on the feet. I garuntee you'll be returning this!! It will scare the kids and the dog. Octopus in person looks like a huge blue ink blot!! Background not white as pictured either. Wayfair was very nice about returning it and my new teal rug is a dream!!!!
