I was very pleasantly surprised at the high quality of this rug for such a reasonable price. The pile was thicker than I thought it would be (but not so thick that my vacuum won't work on it). The color is a deep rich blue. It was a little wrinkled after I unpacked it but laid flat and the folds and wrinkles disappeared fairly quickly. Did not have any sort of smell like previous rugs I've purchased online. Highly recommend - very happy with this purchase. Also, thank you to Wayfair for letting me return the previous rug that I was going to use in this space, because that previous rug WAS wrinkly and thin and seemed cheap. Very glad this story ended so well!
