Beautiful rug! The lines do look thinner in the photo than in real life (they're about an inch thick about 9 inches long from from diamond to diamond. The only other issue I have is it does shed A LOT (but that shouldn't be much of a surprise for a shag rug).  As a funny side note, my dog was terrified of it when we first brought it in! She wouldn't leave the couch and just kept sniffing around it lol. She got over it though and now they snuggle every day!  Overall loving it!
