Nice quality rug. Thick vs others Ive purchased. Very plush feeling overall with a pad. Slightly more muted than picture, i.e. pink not as bright, which is a good thing. Blue just a hair deeper shade than picture, not shocking in real life. Red is a focal point with the yellow. This was an experiment to tie the colors in my long hall together, which has Koi fish oil painting and a yellow wall opposite. The rug is growing on me, its the second rug Ive tried. The other one was thinner, more boring, and would not lay flat. I had to purchase new drapes, this rug does not play well with greens in the sage family, at all. The very corners of this long runner are not totally laying flat yet. But the backing is a nice quality so I have hope.
