When I opened the box, I said, "Wow, this is nice."  It has excellent quality.  The tufting is done by experienced people, it does not look cheap.  You get more tufts on the top with this one compared to others.  For me, this one was the right circumference.  I bought the mushroom/taupe color and would say that the picture is quite accurate.  It is a little on the grey side for a mushroom.  The extra money for this one is worth it.  This does not look like the cheap ones you see on the shelf at other stores.  I definitely recommend this one over others that are less money.
