Rug looks exactly as pictured. In my picture, there is a shadow on the upper half of the rug from my bathroom counter. I bought the small (2x3) size to use in my powder room. It is quite thin and “cardboardy” stiff at first but that may be due to the small size I bought. I had to reverse fold out some of the creases and lay it flat with objects on top for a few days to flatten out.

I took one star off due to shipping. The rug arrived just rolled up in plastic wrap that was very dustydirty from shipping and beginning to rip in areas so one corner of the rug was gray and dirty. I thought they would have at least shipped it in a poster box or another outer plastic bag wrap due to the small size. Or maybe this is how Wayfair ships all their rugs regardless of size
