This rug is just what we expected.  It's a nice substantial, soft and absorbent rug.  We purchased to run the length of the tub in a medium size bathroom and it fit our space perfectly. This rug can be machine washed like a very heavy bath towel in a machine with a large weight and load capacity.  The color is exactly what we expected (we purchased the brick red color) and we received our order from Wayfair one day early.  The price was a bit more than we had hoped, but shipping was free so we are very please with this purchase.
