This rug is exactly as pictured, and super soft. I purchased a very large version to cover the ugly carpet in my apartment, and it totally defines the room. I did take one star off because there is one flawed spot that could have used more pile- like it may have been stitched or skipped in that row. A brush over it (or if I turned it to put that line under the sofa, which wasn't possible solo), and no one would notice, but as the owner, I do. That being said- as a Wayday purchase, it was absolutely worth the fantastic price. I love it, especially the color. Great rug, highly recommend.
