The rug looks just like the picture, the colors are vibrant, the pile nice to the touch. Just got it, so no info on how it cleans or whether theres static. Ill be using it in my work space for the benefit of my dog, so Im not going to make an issue out of it, but there are plenty spots around the perimeter where the edge threads are scuffed, dirtied or cut through. Had I intended it for a living room, it would be unacceptable.
