The rug itself is really low profile and is not plush. Luckily, that's exactly what I was looking for (for ease of vacuuming) and it is seriously so soft! The colors are vibrant and I love the pops of mustard. It is very pink forward, my boyfriend's reaction was "That's a lot of pink!". So if that's not your thing look elsewhere, but if it is BUY THIS RUG. Seriously, it's so good!
