This rug is soft underfoot, nice and thick.  I liked the matching runner better, as it had more pinks, blues, purples, reds.  The larger version has more white and yellow than the runner, but is generally as pictured.  It adds great color to an otherwise neutral room.  Have used for a very short period of time and still losing some threads with wear.  Normal for a new rug.  Hope it lessens and stops over time.
