Exactly as pictured and described. The cream color really is nice in person and so is the design details on the rug. I'm not sure if people would appreciate that this rug runs more on the thin side, but I actually liked this a lot since I was using it for rug layering anyhow. Also to be clear, it's not so thin that it feels cheap or threadbare, but just noting its definitely not your typical thick, wool/crewel/woven style rug. Hope this helps.
