This rug made the room! It was placed on top of carpet and stays put. The color was just as pictured on the Wayfair site so coordinating with our decor was spot on!  This is a very plush rug. You can see the difference in the pile in the second photo. In my opinion, the contrast just added to the presence of the rug in the room. My young grandson said it "made his feet happy" when he got up in the morning. I am very pleased with the look, the quality, and the price of this rug.
