I was skeptical but hopeful at time of purchase! After reading the reviews I was hesitant to order after reading the design appears to be printed. It definitely is but offers a beautiful and vintage look which is exactly what I was searching for. I don't mind the rug being thin as it makes it easy to roll around on my desk chair. It also offers so many different colors that make it easy to change the accent colors in the room when wanting to change things up. Very happy with my purchase!!
