This is a light weight machine washable rug. The pattern and colors are warm and beautiful. The picture online shows the colors to be more of a vivid orange. The description says rust and that is true. It's got a soft, velvety feel, low nap and no padding with a non-skid backing. I needed something to help keep my dog from slipping in the floor, that looks nice in the room and that easily cleans up. Perfect for my purpose.
