This "Carly Medallion Blue Southwestern Tribal Transitional" rug is just as beautiful as shown in the picture. I read some opinions that complained about the thickness and/or color but can't complain about either one.The motif is a combination of pastels and vibrant color, all of which are wonderfully combined to make this rug very beautiful especially if you're 'into' the Southwest art forms (which you obviously are if you want to order this rug). The colors are a bit muted, but need to be so in order to keep the vibrant colors from taking away from the more pastel ones. I absolutely love the design and the colors!As for the thickness, it is obvious that it isn't overly-thick but, then, what 'area rugs' are? I am completely satisfied with the thickness and the quality of the rug. My great-grandchildren have come to visit and love laying around on this rug while watching tv or playing with their toys, so it must have enough thickness to satisfy them!! LOL!The one and ONLY drawback would be that it doesn't have a 'non-slip' backing. However, the rugs that I already have DO have that and they still slide around so it's really not a problem. I have some double-sided duct tape coming that will fix that little glitch. No worries!I have a distinct Native American theme to my entire house (probably because I AM Cherokee) and am fairly well impressed with this little rugoverall, especially for the nominal price!I would definitely buy this rug again.... and might do just that when it is time to replace another of the older 'scatter rugs' in my home.Kudos to the manufacturer and to the seller!
