I'm not really an online shopper - I like to be able to see a true color and feel something before I buy it.  So needless to say, I was nervous to have to purchase a rug online.  I needed a 10x14 and this was the only way to find a lot of options.  I'm glad i trusted the reviews! Color really is true to the photographs and it is soft to the touch.  The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is about a 2 inch area of the edge that is unraveling.  Not worth the hassle to send back, so I'll mend myself.
