The pictures of the product don't do the rug justice. The colors are much more vibrant (got the seafoam-colored option), and the pile is just the right thickness that it makes it look much more expensive than it actually is. We've only had it for a couple weeks, so I can't attest to how the rug will hold up. So far, however, I'm very happy with the purchase. Already looking at the site to see what else may work in the house. Would totally recommend shopping this site to almost anyone.
