Exactly as expected. No, it's not the most luxe rug in the universe, but definitely above expectations for the price. Plenty thick and fluffy for laying on the hardwood floors in our 116-year-old house. It was a little more blue than we thought based on the pictures, but that's totally okay. It'll take a couple more days for the rugs to straighten out - they were rolled pretty tightly for shipping - but I can't wait to start using them in our guest rooms. 

Pros: Awesome price, good thickness
Cons: Tightly rolled for shipping
