Colors are far nicer than pictured and the rug is pleasantly plush.  I added an under-rug which enhances it's comfort.  However, budget time for a daily vacuum because the rug's shedding excels a sheep dog's.  Nonetheless,  I do like this rug and find it's colors are harmonious with a variety of furniture colors and styles.  Despite it's shedding, I've ordered the rug in other sizes.  Recommend!
