I got this on sale for less than $***. So I didn't pay what other sites were asking (over $***)... I expected it to be thin because it said it was reversible. It is actually thin and a little scratchy (not soft wool, almost a jute)... the color is pretty much what I expected. It's a little grassier than olive in color. It would be very lovely as a covered porch rug. This is a rug to get for looks, not to sit on or for any kind of sound proofing. Not good for a kids room.
