I haven't seen this in person yet because I bought it for my 11-year-old granddaughter who lives in another state. She loves it!  The color is vibrant and it is soft underfoot. I did buy the better quality rug pad for underneath, and I recommend it if you want a softer feel underfoot. It shipped quickly and although it was delivered the day after it was scheduled (even though shipping status showed it out for delivery),  I am happy with the purchase.
