The rug is exactly as pictured and it looks great. The material is soft and it feels good on bare feet. The reason for 3 stars and not 5 is because the way the rug is rolled, there are permanent divets in it as well as places on it that will not lie flat despite 2 weeks of having a weighted books laying on it to help flatten. UPDATE: Due to Wayfair's excellent customer service, I was able to get another rug delivered - this one was rolled up properly and unrolled with no issues or divets.
