The color of the rug is a beautiful navy and the design in the texture is just enough to add a little something to the look of it. It is a bit thin because the shag is not very plush, which is hard to tell from the pictures online, but the feeling of the rug itself is very soft and feels nice under your toes. Since we are using this in our toddler's bedroom, we will be using a thicker rug pad so there's more padding for the inevitable trips and falls while playing. Overall looks great in his room and we'd recommend it.
