The rug does look like the pictures and is a nice rug. However, I would not suggest buying this rug unless you are planning to put it in a room that has very little use. There is no grip on the bottom of the rug and even after purchasing rug grips it never stays in place. Between normal walking around, pulling out dining room chairs, and having two dogs this rug consistently gets bunched up multiple times a day. I would not recommend investing in this.
