I was hesitant to buy this rug because without actually touching a product, you don't really know if it is right. But as soon as I unrolled this (I bought a runner), I knew I had made the right decision. It does not feel flimsy. Thicker and softer than I expected. The color is as pictured on web site. I am already looking on Wayfair for a larger rug I need for my bedroom.
