The area rug is as pictured and thicker than I thought it would be.  Delivery was ahead of listed time.  My only comment about it is that there is quite a smell to it.  Right now it is in my spare room flattening out  and after two days, is smelling a  lot better.  Hopefully it will go away all together.  All in all, I m very happy with my purchase and  it was well worth the wait for it to go on sale!
