For starters, the colors on this rug are beautiful! It is just as it looks in the picture. However, the pattern/colors look like it has been printed on there like it would a piece of paper. The texture of the rug threw me off too as it feels more like a blanket than it does carpet. Don't get me wrong, it's very soft, just not what we were expecting. The quality seems okay, but we've only had it about a week so it's hard to say what the durabilitiy will be like.
