LOVE this rug! It hides stains and has stayed beautiful and plush, even though it's in a high-traffic area.

The rug looks just like the picture but as others have stated it is very thin - not just a low pile but thin with no cushion. Good to add some color to the room and for your feet not to touch the cold floor, but no added comfort like carpet since no cushion what-so-ever.

My living room doesn't get a lot of natural light, but this rug really brightened it up! The design on it is also great for hiding dust and dog hair, so even though it's light colored, it doesn't have to be vacuumed every day to look good.

I love this rug! I was afraid it would be too "ivory" with my light gray and white living room, but I think it looks great! Blue is my accent color but I love the splash of color it adds. It is soft enough for us, but a pad underneath wouldn't hurt. It took about a week for it to lay flat, which I expected. The picture is just a day or two after I put the rug down. I am writing this review a few weeks after, and the rug has laid down completely flat. Overall very happy with this purchase. Great rug for the price!
