The picture looks more plush than the carpet is.  It is w true indoo/outdoor rug that is woven with no nap or softness at all. It does not lie flat very easily. Still waiting for all the kinks to get worked out several weeks later. Best thing:  the color, which is vivid and true to pic, for the most part. It took a long time to get here, but it WAS during the biggest snow accumulation in history, in their defense.  Tracking said it "should arrive today" twice before it actually arrived.  I don't regret buying it, it is beautiful, but it is not worth the "70% off" price of $133 that we paid for what we thought was a carpet with "plush," so just be aware.
