I ordered this rug for my closet, and I couldn’t be happier about it! The color is as shown, which I am very pleased with. I ordered it in white. While it is a shag rug, the pile is not very high, but I am happy with that, as I didn’t want it overlong. It is going to take a couple of days to lay flat, but I expected that. I do suggest fluffing the fibers of the rug to make it look extra plush when you roll it out. Overall, I highly recommend this product!! Btw, I also included a pic of the binding. It does show, but I don’t mind at all!
