The carpet serves its purpose well, but the image is misleading; the color of my rug went from white to black and actually repeated twice. I was expecting it to look like in the picture the manufacturer provided. So that was disappointing. Oh well. Please excuse the dog in the photo. The rug works, but to be honest, I probably would have returned it if I was willing to deal with the hassle of a return (it arrived in plastic rather than a box, so I'd have to find packing and binding materials).
