It's ok. A bit rough on the feet, but that's to be expected with this style. Color is as pictured. Knots were quite loose on several of the fringe ends and needed tightening. I expect the fringe ends will fray quite a bit, but I don't mind, as it's in a utility area. Beware: the rug is thicker than the dimension listed. I couldn't use it in either of the two locations I planned—even without a mat, it blocked doors from opening (and both doors are a solid 1/2 inch off the floor). It will slide on a wood floor without a mat, which will add more height. I kept it only because I had a third area that needed a rug but isn't near a door.
