I did purchase this product with the intention to put it next to front door where is traffic, but I like it so I instead have it in the bedroom. The color is exactly as on the picture; it's also thick enough and soft too.
I like the price very much; because I couldn't find anything similar in such a friendly price. 
I have bough it round and the size is perfect as well. It doesn't have rough bottom; it's rather soft.
