I loved the feature of taking a picture so you coukd see it in your actual room, not a staged room. I absolutely love this rug! It was a little lighter than what was pictured originally but that's to be expected. I'm m actually glad it wasn't a stronger color because I wanted something light in my living room and not over powering. It's not very thick so getting a rug pad with some thickness would be good underneath if that's something you wanted.
