Better than picture. Pops in the room. Rolled tight therefore I put something to get it to lay flat. Though it's a thin carpet as expected, nice to walk on walk. Has give under your feet. I like it so much I ordered the runner for hallway. Exceeded expectations. Update. As I arranged the rug after able to get it to lay flat, an anomaly showed. On one side of edging it has a off cut which shows it not straight. I dropped a star for it takes away and isn't all sided straight edge. Replacement is nicely made.
