I didn't have high expectations for this rug because of the printed design (as opposed to being woven) and given my past experiences with printed rugs, but it was the only one I was able to find with the colors I wanted so I went ahead with it. I was happily wrong. It is surprisingly soft and luxurious to walk on and while on the thinner side, it has a substantial feel to it. The printed designed wasn't pixelated the way I've seen with other printed rugs. The colors are pretty true to the pictures: black, ivory, light and dark taupe
