This rug looks nothing like the picture... besides being round. the picture makes it look like the rug is a solid color, but it has a border and almost a rectangular, checkerboard effect everywhere else. it also arrived with an area that was obviously part of a manufacturing error- black thread on a beige carpet, making it looked stained (about the size of a dollar bill folded in half). however, since this was bought to go under a table, it was easier just to keep it rather than going through the return process. it works very well with the chairs- they are easy to move on the rug.
