Rug looks exactly like the one in the picture! I did a lot of research before I bought this rug and it is exactly what I wanted. The rug was for our office - and had to have pile low enough that office chairs would roll across it - and it works perfectly for that. The rug colors were important to me - the grays match the paint on our walls and our office chairs. The touch of beige helps coordinates with the file cabinets so they don't look out of place. The splash of coppery gold matches our golden oak floors (ya, can't afford to replace those right now). The rug arrived rolled up but I did just a small amount of reverse rolling and there are no creases or curling and the rug laid perfectly flat from day one. I am very pleased with this purchase.
