It is exactly as pictured.  It is quality and lays perfectly.  I turned under a couple of corners to flatten them as I read a couple of reviewers has problems with the corners.  The red is not a bright red, rather, by my eye, is more a maroon.  I expected that because several reviewers mentioned that.  I was actually hoping for maroon.  I would absolutely recommend this area rug.  As always, it's a pleasure doing business with Wayfair.
