I read a ton of reviews, and kept my fingers crossed when most said the picture is way off on the color. They were right, and it is exactly the color I was hoping for. The corners are not wanting to flatten out on their own, but other than that, I love the look and feel f this rug. I have also not experienced the slippery problem some reviews have mentioned. It hasn't shed at all, and it does a great job hiding the mass amount of shedding from my black lab. I was a little concerned about how it would vacuum, but no problems there either. Would definitely recommend!
