Arrived quickly and well protected. Colors are as shown on PC monitor. Texture is artificial but soft enough under bare feet - though we did buy a thick pad. The one big complaint is the odor - it smells of chemicals, petrol, nothing good or healthy. It has been in the room for over 2 weeks and still smells horrible, despite repeated vacuuming, opening windows and judicious fabric fresheners. If this is the trade-off for a good price, I would spend more time looking around for a sale price on a less aromatic rug.
