I never used rugs because I always thought they got in the way, but these are so soft and hug my tile floors so nice that I don't trip on them.  The color was very true to the picture and matched like I had hoped. So many things you order on line show one color and come in a different shade.  The short center is just as soft as the plush around the outside.  I have looked at rugs but the price of these was so perfect and the quality impressive. It was a second thought to buy them and I am glad I did.
