We purchased this rug to go with the rustic sofa and hoped it would not be too much of the same decor. Not only is the rug better looking than in the picture, it is so comfortable under the feet. My Rittie curled up on it before we could even get it out in place! The bear looks as though is pops out of the rug and I had to feel it to see if it was raised, but it was all flat. Love this!
