This rug is exactly as pictured online. I was weary about trying to match existing curtains to the color pictured online, but the picture was a good representation of color and they match perfectly! It seems like a pretty standard indoor/outdoor rug in terms of thickness and material, but definitely softer than some of the others I've seen. We put it down under our dining room table inside and it's soft enough that when my little one starts crawling I won't worry about him cruising around on it.
