it just shows nicer in the picture than in real life. It is just so thin and cheap. When I purchased the rug I didn't look at the price I liked what I saw and ordered it. However, when it arrived it was then that I saw how thin it was and the price was originally something else and it sold for $29.00, that is when I realized just how inexpensive it was. I didn't make a big deal about it because it was so inexpensive. But I am disappointed in the rug itself.
