I really love this rug! I was nervous ordering because there were only two reviews and neither had pictures. For what I needed, this rug is perfect. I love the colors and the size (I got the 5x7). The beige background is definitely lighter in person than it is in pictures and the red is not as dark. It's not a thick rug at all but I didn't need it to be/didn't care. Note I am not a rug snob and like I said, it's perfect for what I was looking for. The pictures I took are minutes coming out of the package. It totally flattened within hours.
