This rug has a nice pattern and great colors. The colors are closer to the side view it is not nearly as dark as the head on pictures. It is not exceptionally plush and the backing is rather thin so it takes a while and a bit of weight to get it to lay flat. Overall, you get what you pay for. It is very much worth the $35 I paid for it. I bought the 5'3" x 7' 5" rug specifically to go under my bed to stop it from sliding on our new hardwood floors. It serves that purpose well. I would not put the rug out in the middle of the floor but it does well under furniture.
