This rug is think (.5 inch), and heavy. Feels good under the feet. Looks well made. I love this rug. The colors are very close to pictured, but there is one color that is different then the photo. 4th row down and second square to the right: you have a white square with a I more grey trim, well this color on my rug is not white or cream white. It is very similar to the gray color, so it does not pop, it blends. It is not a show stopper for me because this rug works so well for my decor. It would have been nice to have that off white color, (yes really nice) but it is just not there. All the other colors are very nice. It adds a lot of color to a nuetral room. It would be great for a kids/baby room, and also works in a living room or dining room. I am using it for my living room and I am buying another one for under my dining room table next to the living area. Lets hope I get the same rug, or maybe I will get the rug with the white in it. we will see. Over all I am very pleased with this rug. It is a great buy for the price.!!!!!
