Ordering any sort of decor online is always a bit risky, especially as far as colors are concerned, so I was utterly thrilled when my rug was delivered and it turned out to be exactly as pictured in the photo. It is a bit thin, as another reviewer mentioned; however, it's such a beautiful rug that it almost looks like a piece of artwork on the floor. It was also one of the only non-skid rugs I could find in this size that wasn't just plain and unattractive. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again or to recommend it to anyone else.
