I hesitated to buy this rug, worried about whether the color matched the picture. It does, just what I wanted, beautiful soft.  I love it. I ordered the pad with it which works wonderfully.  The rug is machine made so the design one one side a curve where it shouldn't. Somehow, I do not mind it as it almost makes it look authentic. If it bothers me I can turn it around where not so noticeable. The colors are vivid, yet muted in places, quite lovely for the price.Pros: Color, durability, and soft, not too thick., it arrived really before expected date.Cons: Cannot think of any
