I hesitated to get this because the entire center section appeared brown on my monitor, but when I got it it was just different shades of green, which I liked even better. The dark green leaf designs around the border are carved into the rug as well, which is a nice touch. It is very thick and soft to walk on. I do wish the tufts were secured on the back somehow - my cat scratched at it and pulled some out pretty easily. Ultimately, I'm pretty happy with the rug and I think I'll keep it... the cat on the other hand, may have to go. :)
